No they are parrellel , just don,t bore the block all the way through .

Stop about 3mm from the bottom of the bore and press liners against the step .

Must have done 100 blocks , never had one move :D

How far can these liners be bored out to?
It says +20 on their site but I am sure I've seen references to +40 amd even +60.

The WCL 13A can go to +60 no problem.

The std factory size liners are only recommended for +20 possible +30 at most
