Machining a block, how it´s going???

Depending which engine you have I wouldn't go over .030 without checking the block. (sonic check). I've heard too many horror stories of guys spending lots of time and money going .060 over and ruining the block or having overheating problems because the cylinder walls are too thin. The first thing I did after taking the block apart was to get out my micrometers and dial bore gauge and measure everything. I wrote it all down in a notebook and have been looking at the measurements. I am no expert but I've got an idea now as to what's needed for machine work. You may not have the tools to mike everything and analyze the measurements but the machine shop should measure to see what you need. I hope they write those
measurements down. They should! Anything out of specs should be machined if it's not too far gone to save. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. Toolmanmike
BJR, tell us how it's done..
