    Use a table ban saw to hack off the 340 piston crown .

    Great video, puts most American machinists in the lazy coloum/list.

    Turn a small drill press into a Bore/ Hone. Bolt it to the top of your engine block & do your own machining .

    My machine shop won't do just one cylinder, there would be some that will, but not within my traveling distance.

    Black & Milds, plastic tip, are the strongest substance abuse product here ..if you don't count my "engine building skills" to engines.

    PS, the Chevy long block was "remanufactured" out of Mexico...also I noted the the front cam bearing was missaligned, oil had a hard time getting to the front main...slight gawl on that bearing but it didn't mess up the crank bearing surface....cam bearing is still good , but will need a drill...

    Thinking bout it,that 1 cylinder...but the heads /bolts came out off pretty easy..it might be a waste of timeand money...I don't think anyone, who is honest will say they ever saw a hairline crack in a cylinder...maybe if they were actual machinist, a rare occurrence might turn up, but not most...

    Hairline crack in the cylinder? Or something else? Elaborate. Anyone ever see a hairline crack in just one cylinder that can't be seen when it's magniflux , with the naked eye?

    You should have known most machine shops won't bore/hone just one cyl. They are in the business to make/ take your money. They want to door the whole block over again. All 8

    Sounds all good, but my machine shop and those near by won't bore/ hone just one cylinder...you should have known.
