The block has gone to the machine shop for a rebore, deck skim, ultrasonic clean and pistons fitting to the rods. Rebuild starts soon

Uber cool - satnav in a gear knob

Sat nav... HA!! Very classy.
I'm on the hunt for someone who can make one from sea glass for me. Need to figure out the diameter of the stick tho.

[Panky]

Ohhh pretty
Have the bores been pocketed?

 

[PaulJL]

Ohhh pretty
Have the bores been pocketed?

Dunno. Best ask Tim.
They were oversized slightly apart from one that had to be sleeved.

 

[Panky]

Maybe just the light but it looks like little notches machined in the top of the bores for valve opening clearance.

 

[PaulJL]

I noticed that too but thought it was the light

 

[commeracer]

Called in an expert to start the re-assembly.



Yes, the bores are notched for the 2.06" inlets.

 

[PaulJL]

Christine is doing an awesome job... Crank in and torqued, stainless core plugs in too
