Comp cams xe268h for 318

Yea I'm watching one on Ebay now. In light of the balance issue I'm probably just gonna stick to the original plan and try and save the 318. I'm gonna try clean them up and hone them and rering. I orders a bore gauge so I can check the bore dia and taper. Hopefully I can get it to seal! I'm gonna save the 360 and do it right!

You spent money on a bore gauge, on a budget rebuild?
You have calipers, you can cut a coat hanger to a little longer length, grind it to size and check bore taper cheap.

I carry a couple of cut to length coat hangers with me when searching for standard bore blocks at swap meats.
