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.


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?


Seriously would consider the option depending on cost.


: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.



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?

Sure, I've sonic tested plenty of cast iron blocks myself. ...and I do believe YR is correct that it is solid down that far......I am merely pointing out that it would be best to verify that and you can do that with a sonic tester. It would be terrible to build a whole engine using that block and find out later it sprang a leak. That's why I said a sleeve will do no good "for that" but of course it would repair the integrity of the broken piece. ......although if it's solid down there.....and I believe it is, it doesn't really need a sleeve. It's just best to verify, as this hobby "ain't cheap".
