any photos of the top of the block.

if its 73.51 that makes it a 1380cc

is this correct as a cooper s block can only be bored plus 0.60  72.16mm, i think

 

also is it thin flange looks like it

[Darranns149]

Its 73.5mm and has not been offset, offset bored can go 74mm with out issue. Seen them at 74.7mm using triumph pistons.
I can put step liners in, to take it back to standard if required.

Yes its a MK1 Block. Thin flange.

Best thing would be to sleeve it back to 1275 cc. At that bore with no offset the head gasket would be vulnerable to blowing across 2 to 3 and it will not be sensible to try to ever bore it further.

At 1275 that block would be worth well over £650.

Thanks for the advice, time is against me. Lots of projects on the go including getting maguire ready for next year. Thats the main reason for selling.

Head gasket is fully supported by block at 73.5mm bore, at 74 without offset id agree with you.
