If you know you will not rebore your engine again, no
reason not to go 60 over. Just be very aware that if
anything happens that requires a rebore, the engine
will either have to be sleeved or a new block.
I've got more blocks than trucks so will go 60 over on
the next engine that I rebuild. If I need to bore it
out in the future, will just toss the block and put in
a spare.
