Have to stay PC It's not stupid, it's "displacement challenged" he's not PC, besides he's just being a dick about it. Which doesn't make sense, I'm ALWAYS nice to his dumb-ass.

Well, your gonna bust that t-5. Thats just a matter of enthusiastic clutching. When you get that over with don’t be sad. T-5s were born to be babied or buried. Not sure about the model 15. Likely blow a hub loose before to break it. I’m optimistic both can fail if you make them. Its not so much the power as how hard you hit them with the clutch. But you wont have a problem if you drive it normally.

116. Stupid304 I wonder if the oil filter being on continuous by-pass had anything to do with the main bearings wearing. At least they wore evenly... IMG_5529 by Rick Jones, on Flickr

Whats going into the stupid 304? My latest stupid 304 adventure has gone stupid. I took a block to my stupid machinist to be bored .030. Apparanly the cutter came out and screwed up the last hole it cut it out dramatically oversized, about 100 over at the top. So i told him to bore the messed up hole to 4.0 litre size ( 3.875 which is .125 over) to see if that cut out the damage, and if it did, then sonic check it to see it it was thick enough to run. (All this to avoid sleeving it). So he messaged me its done. I asked what did the sonic test show thickness to be? I said he didnt check it. He bored and finish honed all the cylinders. Gee i hope they are thick enough. Thats it for that block. I brought him another block that was .030 over and worn. I said bore it .060 over. He bored it and magically it came out .062 over. He says he can fix it by finish honing it to .065. Nice. My machinist has been doing this his whole life. Apparantly its time to retire. I have one standard block left that i got from you. I sure dont trust him to touch it.

Isn't it SOP to bore a block only after the new pistons are in hand?

Lol. What would it matter?🤣 blocks are honed to size. If the tools are accurate, boring to standard oversize is fine. Generally the clearance is machined into the piston. Having the pistons in hand is good , if the machinist actually measures them. In this case its a great thing i didnt pre order pistons. I’d probably run out of blocks before i got a fit with this guy. When i order pistons they will ask what the finished bore size is. They dont like making pistons untill you have a proven finished bore size. Standard proceedure for me is not adhere to standard proceedure you can think your block is going to be ok to bore to a given size but you dont know for sure. I know a certain psycho who had a rusty boneyard 401 that was standard bore who was mad as hell it had to be bored .060 to grt rid of all the rust craters. He had .020’s made for it.

Last time I had one bored the machinist wouldn't touch it until I brought him the pistons.
