What is considered the "Safe" minimum cylinder wall thickness after a .030" overbore for a Cleveland? Obviously the thicker the better, but where should a guy draw the line?

Good morning Ron!
0.120" on the thrust walls, 0.080" on the non-thrust walls, maybe even tolerate 0.075" on a non-thrust wall in a spot here and there, especially if those spots are in the lower portion of the cylinder thats not pounded by the exploding mixture.
That's not a Cleveland thing, that's a universal accepted minimum as far as I know.
Mr DeRyke provided basically the same figures in his article in the December POCA newsletter.
