Yeah but no engine ever came from China with a 2.682 or larger bore. So if a bore is that big then the cylinder has obviously been altered and would therefore be illegal. The rules say no alterations unless specifically noted and it does not say you can hone the cylinder. No it is not a given that you can hone, no where does it say you can. Honing is altering and there's no way you can argue otherwise.
Kind of a stupid argument isn't it. I think so, just as crazy as putting specs on the throttle shaft, lifters, valves, wrist pin and piston then telling folks they can't meet the spec. Why? because it says no altering of any parts. So why is it ok to alter the cylinder but nothing else, and don't spout that "If I can't see it I can't call it." BS. A six year old could see that the cylinder had been altered but no one calls it.
Ok that's all the trouble I will cause this week. LOL
