Great video, puts most American machinists in the lazy coloum/list.

You can start your own FAULT FINDING column, you will go far.

A cylinder is a cylinder, no matter who has it.

Hope you get too heaven cause your perfect

My machine shop won't do just one cylinder, there would be some that will, but not within my traveling distance.

Black & Milds, plastic tip, are the strongest substance abuse product here ..if you don't count my "engine building skills" to engines.

Only things we smoke here, is Black & Mild plastic tips. Ha

PS, the Chevy long block was "remanufactured" out of Mexico...also I noted the the front cam bearing was missaligned, oil had a hard time getting to the front main...slight gawl on that bearing but it didn't mess up the crank bearing surface....cam bearing is still good , but will need a drill...

Thinking bout it,that 1 cylinder...but the heads /bolts came out off pretty easy..it might be a waste of timeand money...I don't think anyone, who is honest will say they ever saw a hairline crack in a cylinder...maybe if they were actual machinist, a rare occurrence might turn up, but not most...

Anyone ever see a hairline crack in just one cylinder with the naked eye and magnifluxing?

Good info, dynomaxs will get my dollar when I am ready for em...

Hairline crack in the cylinder? Or something else? Elaborate. Anyone ever see a hairline crack in just one cylinder that can't be seen when it's magniflux , with the naked eye?

Sounds like a way to go. Increase the chop saw!

You should have known most machine shops won't bore/hone just one cyl. They are in the business to make/ take your money. They want to door the whole block over again. All 8

Sounds all good, but my machine shop and those near by won't bore/ hone just one cylinder...you should have known.

Ok, after 5 months of hyatis, I believe only a piston with a tall crown/ dome would be a suitable for a hack. And that's only if the band saw has a good , adj grip, and your able to position the piston so it don't move.

Now I answer my own thread....it can't be done. There isn't a piston out there that has enough meat on top to take off .1" The "Experts" out there didn't have that knowledge. Or they simply didn't care. Because I got no reply.

I went for it. No problem cutting off the dome on a TRW high compression piston and using it...saved a ton of money . The piston is now where it needs to be on compression with my cc.

Kiss....keep it simple Sir. Respect the thrifty you gets things done at hardly no cost and it keeps on revving.

I found a "remanufactured" long block that needs only 1 cyl to go .040" over . All the others are still in great shape. I will slader an old 4" piston with valve lapping compound and start the enlarging process spinning it inside that bad cyl. Then use the heavy duty honeing tool and magnetic...

Use a 4" old piston slader it with valve grinding compound to start then use a magnetic drill press on top with a heavy duty honeing head then finish it up with the Lisle 15000 honeing tool at .040" over to fix a bad cyl that got toasted . Skirt going to the machine shop because all the other 7...

I have all I need to do just one bad cylinder on the block I have that's already been bored .030" over. Evendently the prior engine builder didn't torque the heads enough and water got in this "remanufactured" long block , one cyl got toasted. So I ask you, do take it to the machine shop and get...

Sounds like you need a shift kit in your tranny with a correct governor for full power upshifts. If it was me, I would crawl under/ drop the tranny pan and install a kit from a reputable source...that has good step by step instructions.

Not sure Summit does Therm-Quads anymore, now that I looked closer.

9004 core is for a 850cfm for a 1975 360...that would work as a good starting point also.

You know me, I will clean it , disassemble it, put together again. And try it out on my engine first before sending it off.

Just buy a good 9292s core and send it the Carburator Center, El Monte, Ca 1800-491-2633

Looks good, retard the cam 4 degrees. Your good heads will put you at above average 440hp@ 5800rpm and bout 450feet lbs of torque at 4500 rpm. Bet your heads will put you over the top in what your expectations are. and your cam will pull all the way thru the rpm range/= good fun driver. Good job!
