Reg Reimer from RCTS possibly?

now that I have my pistons clean, I decided to take some real measurments. good news! with a stock head, and stock block, with a stock headgasket and stock cams.. the engine becomes interference when a total of 1.47mm of material is removed from the block and head. I used my vernier caliper...

smooth move on the hardlines wes, car is looking fantastic!

yup yup thanks for the tip.

I was thinking the same thing. This is a little different than a standard rebuild though, since the engine ran great when I disassembled it.

excellent. I will double check with a bore gauge.

Fortunately, it doesn't IJ, I tried both little fingernails too. haha

I don't think anybody said it was normal.

some discolouration...it looks and feels smooth. what appears to be pitting is not. does this look unacceptable to you? acceptable being less than perfect.

don't worry guys, I'm still working on it! I'm finally working so income is starting to flow in. I'm trying my best to get everything ready to go for the new parts and machine work. I bought some chem dip and went to down with my wire brush, simple green and a touch of polishing compound. All...

are you using a map sensor?

what a massive body transformation! Such an incredible attention to detail aswell. I love it! it's a true inspiration. Watching proper rebuilds come full circle with correct rust repair is so much more satisfying than just a repaint. Looks like you've been using chassis black on some things. Did...

as nick said you should have an idea visually and plastigauge is good to confirm. but my argument still stands. I think it goes without saying this is exaggerated.

Plastigauge will not tell you if a bearing surface is out of round, or tapered. A micrometer will.
