Does the F7R have wet or dry liners, and can you change the insert or would it have to be bored out?
I know of a bottom end which has been worn due to sand getting in so has lost compression, so figure it would need new rings and boring?

Thanks.

with him.......................about the period of the burnout then the next 40 ft.

He is obcessed and keeps trying to push more fuel, they literally only care about how much fuel you push through nothing else as it self oxidising.

It might live if he dropped it down to 6500bhp lol.
