While digging through the stash looking for engine options for a friend I discovered that a 250 I have is .080 over and decked .040. I know .060 is the rule. It is still together as a short block. The cylinders look good with no ridge. It was obviously burning oil. The cylinder walls are smooth and clean. What do you think? The oil burning could be that the cylinders are too flexible to seal but still someone drove it enough to get rid of hone marks? Not a lot involved with cleaning it up, checking piston fit, and throwing on a set of rings. It might be one of those that can take it. Just wondering.
