A friend of mine is giving me a tired 22re out of his 1989 pickup. It has somewhat of a rod knock so I may have to source a crank if I can't have this one cleaned up.

Is .040 the max I can bore this motor out to?
Is it worth it to punch it over this much?
I want a torquer 22r motor and was thinking of running o/s valves in it too.

What kind of HP gains would I get out of a overbored motor?
Anything else I should add to this when I build it besides different valves and a rv cam?

Any tips or pointers on this subject would be appreciated.
Thanks
