- Dear FOTers, During all my decades of destroying these engine blocks, I never had any of them checked for perfect alignment of the three main bearing caps, or bored to make the alignment more accurat

- I just had to go through quite a bit of machining of the main bearings on Peyote's original engine since I discovered during the teardown (after I lost all the oil) that the center main bearing cap w

- << Ken Gillanders strongly advises against line boring the blocks unless *absolutely* necessary. Line boring moves the crank up in the block, changing the deck height of the pistons and the clearance

- I use a ground test bar to test for alignment. I also use a dial bore gauge in each main brg hole. Even the best shops that Line Hone do not get it as round as the factory. If you use racing RPMs, th

- When I built my latest engine I had it align honed. It was off alittle (I don"t recall how much). When I put thing together I did have to take 7/1000 off of the tops of the cylinder liners, and an eq

- Bill, I spoke to my machinist about the differences between align boring and align honing. When they do an align bore, it is done on each individual bearing, with a separate set up for each bearing.
