about 3 months and pop the gasket + ruin the bottom of the head all over over again. I see people do this mistake all the time and deeply regret it. ref: http://rawze.com/forums/showthread.php?t...5#pid41315


Even if you counter-bore it, and set it back at the factory 0.010" .. the engine will not last 4 maybe 5 years most of the time before failing again.


The only way to extend its actual expected lifespan so that it reliably makes it another million miles (to get the full return on the investment of spending $20k plus moneys), is to raise the liners to 0.015" during the inframe. it is not just the mid-stops that wear but the retainers at the top of the block too.. this is why you increase the clamping force the second time around.
