    Its the Plasticoat Stuff, seems to work well dunno how it will handle a bit of heat, I used to use Hammerite but it stays too soft and easily marks.

    Its pretty much like a 200 block except the bores are the same thinkness as a 205.
    It's also a bit shorter bore height than a 200 or 205 I found when doing mine, will need the piston crowns licking down a bit or they make noises when it warms up

    I have never built an engine even with a 200 block that dosnt need the pistons machined to obtain proper tollerences, however the 202 block is about 0.75mm short. This however is quite handy as I like to use Cosworth Group A pistons and once everythings machined up you end up with a higher CR, using a 4x4 head I have 7.8:1
