Has anyone had this done in the UK, if so where and how much?
Need to see if I can get 91mm pistons in a 240 block

I was tongue in cheek about 91mm. I just want to see what I can and can't do.
Do you know where Skiddell got his block done? Shame he doesn't post on here anymore.

I've seen them on amazon/ebay.
When doing it yourself are you just taking readings from all over the bore so performing a downward spiral as such? or does it have a scan mode where you lower it in?
Or is it a case of its a 'good enough' type test?

I'm struggling to commit to one direction or another, neither are bad but I don't want my block on the limit.
What bore are you really looking for Jason? I would think you don't need to worry upto 86 on a p30 block.

86, however it'd be nice to know that if It was needed I had a spare 0.25 or 0.5 on the block. Its an early p30 which the Japanese see as generally 'better'.

It would, just not as reliable, however I think it'll do for my purposes.
It'll end up guiding me against the options i'm looking at for my block.

I've done quite a bit of this in the past (when I used to inspection pressure vessels for an insurance company) and its a pretty time consuming job. Not easy on tight internal radiuses unless you have a suitable head to suit the radius. I'll have to try and find the tester I used.
