Default Tech help...?

Okay, I got a new block, it's a 2000 360. I already have the .40 over piston's and for some reason I can't find any spec's on how much I can safely bore it.

I been told .20 because the new edge block's ('92-'02) are supposed to be bored .20 from the factory.

Can anyone find the boring spec's for me? I can't .

Thanks in advance!

Why? I don't have a fucking skittle... Plus, I get better tech and more accurate tech here.


Edit: "Mopar Tech" is telling me I can't bore it more than .20... But I can't find anything from DODGE/Chrysler saying different. But I don't like to take someone's word when it come's to block modification's.

I cant imagine .020 is it. thats only .010 pr side of the hole. If it has a bunch of miles that might not even get the wear/ridge out of the top

I was thinking the same thing... But supposidley that's how it is because its ".20" from the factory.

I think it's bull, but in case it's not, I REALLY don't want the sleeve the block if it's that thin.. Not my thing.
