340 engine repair/build questions
This is what i did with a similar engine. Im putting it back together now. The pitted bore builds compression turning by hand the same at the nice bores.
I think it had a weeping head gasket ever since rebuild by previous owner perhaps.
The pitting will still be there after a ball hone.
I would’ve had this bore sleeved but the machine shop isn’t taking new work.
The pic makes it look worse than it is.
