Default Re: The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

In 1959 I had a 29 coupe that was already over bored to .080 and drove it everyday at least 8 miles each way to high school at speed limit. At that time the speed limit was 65 mph on rural roads in Texas. Never ran hot, even in Texas hot summer time. The car caught fire and burned, sold the chassis to another model a guy that had a 31 body and he drove it for, unknown to me, many years.
