Houston! We have a problem!!
The shop that bored my block screwed it up entirely!! It was supposed to have been bored 0.030? to give me a 3.905? bore. Instead, it mics out at 3.914?!! It aint .040 and it?s way too big to be .030! I discovered it when I went to gap the compression rings. I wont be going back to them again!
I took the block to the shop that I normally use on Monday and the machinist there, who is a trusted old racing buddy, is going to sleeve it back to 3.905. We decided that this was the way to go because the pistons, rings, block prep, and balancing are already here, done, and paid for. Swapping parts is out of the question because it?s all custom, special order!
So now I?m held up for another couple of weeks at least! 😡
