Actual classic Mini question!

Strange as it may seem, I have a real classic mini question.  I'm about to
have rebuilt a 1098 motor.  Is it worth the cost of boring it out, say, 20
thou oversize?  I assume theoretically you would gain torque and low rev
power which, for a road car, seems to be what is needed.  What sort of gain
do you get?  Is there any disadvantage in going 40 thou?
Also, I have almost decided on a 1 1/2" SU with rich needle, improved flow
head with maybe 9.5:1 compression, 3-into-1 extractors and an RC40 exhaust.
Any comments?

Stretch it as often as you can.

if the bores etc. are not damaged, I don't think overboring is worth
the cost (of new pistons). The head and other changes wil give more
gain. Maybe worth putting a better cam in while you're working on it?

FWIW,

Thanks, Theo.  That is what I was thinking too.  Would a Cooper S cam, or
its the modern equivalent, be the go?
