CALLING ENGINE GUYS/GALS

I think break in will change the results. Quite dramatically. I said that in my first response. I'm sayin it now. I never said you had a POS. A lot....and I mean a LOT of the engines I've built through the years had cylinders that looked just like yours and they turned out good. Some better than good. Is that type cylinder finish textbook correct? No. I've always had to do what my budget will allow. I don't have the luxury of doing all of the correct machine work on builds most of the time with my budget. I'm not going to take food off the table so that my block can have a perfect bored and honed finish, when I know good and well that it'll be "just fine for what I'm doing" as it is. I'm glad there are people blessed enough in this world that can afford to do it all and do it dead right. That's just not in the cards for me. It's not for a lot of people, so they do the best they can with what they have. One man's piece of ****, is another man's nice engine.
