Why can’t your machine shop sleeve the bad cylinder- done all the time

 

[Hellrats]

I wonder how thin the others are

 

[Plazanewt]

I don’t trust this block. It was out in the weather for along time.

Just a heads up to the 273 people here, any 273 block that is going to be bored .040 or bigger needs to be sonic tested. When the blocks were cast 63-70, they were never meant to be bored .060. I had many years of running a bunch of 273 powered cars in the mid 60's to the mid 70's.

Sorry I cleared this morning.

I would sonic any block going over .030 no matter who made it.

I have found that the early blocks are better, 64-66, the later ones are thin, mine is .070 over, but with 3/4 fill.
