chav is a lifestyle, not an expression of wealth.

Serega,
I have a Cosworth engine already.... so should I put this one in the boot and go twin engine?
Personal preference is one thing, but then researching true facts about what is and what is not possible is my preferred option.
Whilst I would never say I will experience any problems with my block, I doubt I could ever say anything different even if it was linered. What happens, happens. But so far so good with over 8k (and that includes a mix of track use, both public and competition), running around 530bhp/550lbft. Although my block has been modified post delivery from Cosworth and pre install in to car (but not with liners).
More than one way to skin a cat and I certainly have never seen evidence that suggests either way is full proof.
You pay your money and take the risks.

I have researched alot of information on that topic and i would personally never run what you are running and feel safe as you do. I have personally opted for the closed deck 2.35 build but i know alot of people who run relinered 2.5's and some of them are running over 600hp - would you run your unlinered block at over 600hp for long ?

serega,
Yes I would run at 600bhp+ on my current engine, if I had the need to. In fact I hope to get somewhere near approaching that, having my current set-up mapped for VP Import.
600+bhp has already been run without ANY liner issues on this Cosworth engine in Litchfields TA winning car during 2006. With 90% of it's use for the Time Attack Championship in 2006, being nailed within an inch of it's life.
Like I said, nothing is full proof when trying to extract 500+ from these puny engines, so I am under no illusion.
Peanuts,
You have lost me on that one!

I meant that you managed to put together a whole paragraph that seemingly said nothing at all, typical actions/behaviour of Westminster's finest.
vis a vis, concordedly etc
