72 Eldorado 500 CUI overbore?

[DanishEldoradoFan]

Hi, my 72 eldo engine has got a complete overhaul, and has been overbored by 0.20.

How much is that? Does that mean, that my engine now is 502 CUI, ore 510 CUI or more?

Thanks in advance

504.68 Cubic Inches.

You don't get close to 510 till the overbore is .040

Is that inches (sounds unlikely) or millimeters, or what?  A 0.2 inch
over bore would make a 500 into a 547.  Bruce Roe

Me thinks an overbore of .2 Inch would end up with a block with seriously compromised  cylinder walls.

The OP hssn't been back but I would take a wild guess that he had his motor bored out 20/1000 inches.

Sorry, i thought it was 0.20, but reading your comments, it must be 0.020 inches.

That's okay.   It takes a while to understand the measurements that are used when one is not familiar with such things.

When I get an engine rebuilt, and there is a requirement for oversize pistons, I make sure that I have what oversized pistons are available before having the block bored.
