First off, the larger bore you use the more prone to detonation your engine will be. Secondly, if you use an 86mm bore yoiu are basically leaving yourself no room to overbore and rehone if your engine decideds to let go.

My statement is true. Maybe on a full race engine where the motor lasts only 2 runs i don't trust the sleeve being that thin (even with sleeves) they have recomended bore sizes for a reason and that is for saftey and reliablity. and cause for error. Show me where buku amounts of people are using bigger than 84.5mm bore and i will believe you. Also people are making astronimcal power on 84.5 so why risk messing things up by going bigger?

Recommended doesn't mean shit. Its not recommended for a 4 cylinder to be built over 2.5l to bad.. I know lot of engine builders and engines being built to 3.10 liters and their not counter balanced either. They have lasted over 20,000 miles so far. Its all in the eye of the beileiver and how deep your pockets are.
