Rodified #4 Cylinder

Thanks all for the responses. So that you all know, this is not a hot project for me as it's a third block I have laying around taking up space. I'm am trying to disposition known damage to determine whether or not it is even worth keeping or offering it to others.

....He needs to find out how thick that is in relation to the bottom of the water jacket.
I believe it's a standard bore block now. It's what I was told when I acquired it. Taking .015" out per side makes it thinner yet. Any idea if an ultrasonic thickness meter works on cast?

If rest of block is good, could be sleeved.
Seriously would consider the option depending on cost.

.....Farmer John would run it.
:rofl:
Lol, I haven't planted in years! When I did, it wasn't pretty. Defiantly not a green thumb here. Then too, I could take John's approach.


...... Leave a .500 step at the bottom.
So if I understand ya', end the sleeve bottom at the top of the breakout? What's typical cost for a single installed these days?
