[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 9817755, member: 1246"] If Ford decides at some point to incorporate the PTWA spray bore technology into the Coyote design they could theoretically increase the bore size by using a thinner coating on the cylinder walls than is required for the current pressed-in cylinder sleeves. I doubt they would do that since they chose not to on the GT500 aluminum block but it could be possible. Once the technology becomes more commonplace it might even be possible for to remanufacture older blocks by replacing the sleeves with sprayed on liners. Block strength could be an issue but it might be possible to increase the bore size by again using a thinner coating than the the original sleeve thickness. Probably not practical for a high mileage street application but it might be a way to increase displacement for a racing application. [/QUOTE]
