glennster has a good point: if that"s a modern, or fairly modern engine, 45 over is getting to the point you might not want to stress that engine too much, to avoid cracking, BUT it depends on the engine, how much material you can bore out and still be within design limitations.
As an example, I"ve got a piston catalog from 1924, when US engines were much heavier, that says there"ll be a surcharge for pistons cast 60 to 80 over!!
