See, that's why these questions are incisive. Paul says the blocks are all the same cast,
or at least the same external dimensions infers that. Which means the 3.6 would have much thinner cylinder walls than the 2.5 if they're simply bored out differently.

While Steve says the 3.2 reportedly has the thickest cylinder material of all the M96 variants. Which means it's not a larger bore out of the same block. Thicker walls could ONLY happen if the 3.2 was cut from a larger block. Also, I don't think the occurance of D-chunks would have anything to do with cylinder wall thickness. Explain how those two follow.

So you guys appear to be saying the opposite. Or maybe I'm just not understanding everything.

First things first. Are base and S blocks the same pre-boring?
