N42 cylinder wall damage

Weren't you installing one liner so that you could keep the other five as-is?  Now that you have four bad, you're in simple bore all six and get new pistons territory.  Probably cheaper than four liners and keep the pistons.  Might be time to stop and calculate.

 

Four liners, keep pistons = X $.

 

Bore all six, get new pistons = Y $.

jup... thats why i check back here. Problem is, X-ray shows cylinder walls are too thin if I understood my dad right (I will know tomorrow, only got a heads up via my dad communicating with them and tomorrow I will call directly). What do people here consider "safe" wall thickness? Wouldn´t be surprised if they are used to VASTLY different values on boat engines ^^

 

edit: Is this correct n42 is .400 between the cylinders, and .200 on the other sides

 

people say that up to 0.16 is okay. Guess I will first ask him what he did measure ^^
