the question i have is this. did you present the machinist with a set of specific pistons saying "bore and hone it to fit these"? and was there damage pre-existing in that bore when you presented it

I took the block back to the shop today. The machinist admitted that he had not checked the cylinder walls adequately (but he did state that he'd measured them for taper). He really didn't try to mak
Did you have the piston checked for usability? Typically I find there is too much wear in the rings lands and the pistons aren't useable anyway. Also, if you were to sleeve, you would want to go to
