I know of many Hemi's that have been bored .125 (1/8") it depends on the motor.
But I also have seen motors that were junked because of being bored to much, or need the water jacket to be filled.

Steel is real, anyone can get a glass one.

Thats why you use a sonic checker and have the bores offset bored to increase over bore ability .....Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
