Machining a block, how it´s going???

The machinist should measure the bores and recommend a oversize piston.
Once you get the pistons he will measure them and know how much material to leave for the finish hone and the proper finished bore size for the type of pistons you have. The machine shop that's doing my work cleans and checks everything out then gives me an estimate of what needs to be done. His list starts with things that must be done (bore +.030, turn crank .010/.010, surface heads, recondition rods, etc) then lists things that could be done ( decking the block, align hone the mains, etc. The last part of the list is optional depending on how much I have to spend and how perfect I want everything to be. toolmanmike
