When I'm older and insurance goes down I'm thinking of running a 1330/1380 , and wanted to know which one you would have and what spec would be good for about 90bhp.
Cheers

A 1330 needs to work harder to give 90bhp than a 1380

but f you use a 1330 you can always rebore the block if it goes ka-put

Yeah I know thats what I was thinking about.

Not trying to persuade, just for info - if a 1330 has to work harder ie rev higher to give the power it is more likely to break than a well built bigger cc which can rev lower and wear less and can last many tens of thousands of miles, but on the other hand any well built and maintained cc can last just as long really

If you have a 1330 then I would suggest a resleeve before a rebore. I think you will find that 1380 is an offset bore.

they do make sleves now for blocks that have been overbored to 1380.

but all down to prefferance really
