There's a reason why the manufacturers rounded (usually up).

What is the reason?

What is the reason?

'Cause "445.62487 Magnum" as an emblem would be more expensive and look stupid... Well factory would have been "439.72 Magnum".... Same result.

Only to make thing's perfect where every last fraction of horsepower makes a difference in who wins.

Exactly!

so a .030 bore only removes .015 of metal?........ I never thought about it

Someone probably already answered this but yes...... .015" per side so pick your side lol

Yep it's No difference than a tire being a 1 inch taller it actually only has the vehicle go up 1/2 inch...

I should have made it clear, offset boring is diametrically opposed to to making it perfectly to blueprint. But is perfectly on- point to increasing hp

It's crazy some of the discussions we get into on these forums. The OP asked a fairly simple question because he didn't know or understand and I simply answered it in post#2. I should have closed this thread then. All the BS posts here are just going to confuse the fellow. He hasn't been back online since he posted his question.

Nicely stated. AND, it's Saturday. There should be more leeway for " permission to speak freely"

 

[eldubb440]

can any of this be translated into breast sizes?...........

 

[kiwigtx]

Does 30 thousands mean they took that much off each side so the diameter is 60 thousand wider or does it mean they took 15 thousand off each side and the diameter is 30 thousand wider ?
