Hello all:
I need information about the reliability of 1380cc engines based on the
1275 block. One source says that since the center two cylinders have less
metal inbetween adjacent walls the bore expands differentially to form a bit
of an oval at running temp. This causes alot of blow-by and hence oil leaks
and lost power. Any and all information appreciated so that I can make an
informed decision as to which way to go with a rebuild.
Thanks!
Ken
