The block went to the machine shop yesterday and by visual inspection, the machinist said that it doesn't look salvageable. He will be checking into it more and giving me a final word in the next few days.
In the mean time, I've been researching if you can punch out a 2.5l Vanos M50 Block to 86mm bore safely. From what I've read, about 75% say yes, max bore is 87mm, and 25% saying something a long the lines of only certain blocks can be punched out. What I am getting at, is I want to use the stock S50 Pistons/Rods/Crank. Is this feasible? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
