[QUOTE="MrBrain, post: 13412816, member: 47721"] You'd need to measure with torque plates installed (i.e. same as the heads being there). I recently bored my block 0.020 with torque plates to get the bores round. The block flex is crazy, same thing with the main caps. When I removed the crank I first removed the outer bolts and then the crank didn't turn freely anymore but with every thing torqued down to specs it runs smoothly. They are interesting these aluminium blocks :) edit: Some have said that Ford also didn't use torque plates when building the motor, hence the oval cylinders. I am not sure about that though but to the question "do I need to bore my block?" the common answer is yes you do, no matter how little milage is has. [/QUOTE]
