You can go .100, but it wouldn't last long. That is the next step for my 289. Unless I re-sleeve it, or thermal coat the cylinders and pistons, or go with over sized rings. :O)
I hope that the porting will help with cooling on mine. I managed to open the water jackets quite a bit.
: I've always been under the impression that .040 over was the max for a 289. Because of over heating problems . Just a thought I maybe wrong.
