Isn't .060 over close to the max you can bore a 22re anyways?

I have attached an Excel sheet.  Look what I could have done!!  Instead of .020" over bore, I should have gone .060".  The only possible trade-off going to .060" is that if I had to pull the engine down and rebuild it and it needed to be bored .020", I don't think we can go to .080" reliably with a 22??

But.... that extra torque would have been really nice, since I already had the block at the machine shop!!! :hammerhead:
