Default Re: It's at the Machine Shop

Hang in there, it seems we are all having some issues. My block stock bore block cannot be used, found a crack, so my replacement block has already gone .030 over and it had a broken piston in it. I have some really nice .040 pistons/triple rings, waiting to hear if I can make it work, might need a sleeve myself. If it needs more than one sleeve, I might punt the football and sell all my bearings/pistons rings and gaskets. Sleeving the cylinder is pretty expensive these days.
