Also, if my old plate is not anodized like the SCCA ones are.....is it legal so long as it measures to the specification?
Thanks, Jay

Several questions....for the 94 to 95 1.8L that will be choked down to 43 mm from its current 45mm......what was the plate size before 45mm? I recall removing one from my car (I think) but can't remember the size. My car is in another state right now otherwise I'd just look.

I loaned a non annodized one to Cliff Blanchard for the Nasa Nationals and after being scrutinized was marked and allowed to continue. I think its a tight call as to what the tech inspector will do, maybe Collins will give us a more definitive answer.

What is the thought process behind allowing sleeved blocks in the past, and for next year through the runoffs, but not after that? I'm in the process of sleeving a trashed cylinder on an older engine, but now it won't be legal in less than a year. Am I missing something?

Fast forward to 2011 and people are using sleeves to create horsepower. So to stop the great expense of the sleeving, and curtail the arms race, a 0.010" overbore was allowed. And the sleeving was disallowed. To make some people happy, the sleeves are allowed up untill the Runoffs.
The last time I checked, the oversize pistons and rings are EXACTLY the same price as the standard size ones. And most engine builders can take a typical 0.006" worn block to 0.010" over bore with an agressive hone for no additional charge. There should be no need to get the boring bar out of the box.

'Round these here parts, $200 is less than $600. Perhaps allowing a single cylinder or two would have been a more equitable measure. I'll stand by for the "write the letter" comments....
