I just bought a 360 magnum with a blown hole in piston #8. There is a lot of damage to the cylinder walls from the bits of cylinder that were flying around. Should I have it resleeved? What would you do?
First, have it magnafluxed to make sure the bore is not cracked. Then I'd have the shop measure it. You might be surprised at how shallow some damage is when it looks bad. If they have to bore more than .040 over, then properly sleeve it.
not so much on the latter stuff.
I over bored one of the 318 blocks I got from you to 4.00" after it was sonic checked to make it a 402CI with a 4" Crank.
Where can you bore/hone and sleeve 1 cylinder for $38 each??? I thought it was way more than that.
Bore and sleeve the damaged cylinder and then hone all 8 for $300...is what he's sayin.
If the cylinder is beyond .040" overbore, get another block. They are plentiful.
It all comes down to the sonic test. Which was why I say do it first.
