3.3 cylinder dimensions

[mightyredvc]

I was wondering if anybody had a copy of the haynes repair manual (or similar) for the vb - vk series. i seem to have lost mine and really need the cylinder bore dimensions and tolerances for the 3.3 blue. it seems pretty square but i need to know if it needs to be bored before i go and buy new rings for the ol girl. thanks heaps if anyone can help...

For the 3.3L vb/hz red motor: bore:92.08-92.15mm, maximum taper 0.13mm, max ovality: 0.08mm

The pistons to go with that are are: 92.055-92.131mm

This is assuming its the same for a blue motor, couldnt imagine that it would be any different. From what I know the only real differences in the bottom end is the crank is better balanced.

thanks heaps. exactly what i wanted. she don't need boring!
max taper = 0.02
max oval = 0.01
guess HM got it right 20,000 kays ago!

Probably one of the only things HM Gem would get right. One thing make sure each bore is the same size. I have seen a V8 block bored by Gem that was .030" out from the smallest to the largest bored.
