Camshaft Question
I have to buy new pistons or just the one new that has the crack near the wrist pin hole. I have no problem doing a rering but I'm not comfortable with being that I have no idea how many miles were on it on the 30 over bore when it was pulled and torn apart.- davbell22602

Camshaft Question
Ok, Next question. The pistons are 4.077 diameter. Will have any issues using 4.080 diameter pistons in the cylinders? Or am I better off matching the old piston diameter the new pistons. Any chance of me gaining that .003 when honing the cylinders?- davbell22602

Camshaft Question
Its .035 all together. I'll still have to hone to get the ridge out at the top. I get .0015 when measuring piston to wall gap with a piston feeler gauge at the top where the ridge is. The tightest piston to wall can be is .0015 and loosest can .0023. I have to replace the pistons. One has crack...- davbell22602

Engine stand question
I agree on the stand. I think this stand is just meant for small blocks due to how short the arms are. I'll have to shop for engine stand for big block engines.- davbell22602

Camshaft Question
Called Napa Machine Shop, $160/$20 per hole plus $65 for cleaning the block. He said if I'm already 5 thousandths out then I have to 60 over because that 5 thousandths out is really 5 on each side of the cylinder so it really 10 out. Called Gants in WV and its the same price @ $20 per hole...- davbell22602

Camshaft Question
Will a machine shop just bore it that extra 5 thousandths to 40 over or will I have to bore to 60 over? I was told I could bore it myself with a hone to get a 40 over bore.- davbell22602
