All of the cylinders were worn out of spec up to 5 thousandths. Oversized pistons will have to be manufactured to fit. Piston to valve contact was found on the valve reliefs so we will oversize them slightly to avoid any issues in the future. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Brandan, can you post a close picture of the engine no. You can see the number in the upper left corner of your second picture posted here. Regards Matthias

Honing engine block. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH6VExierWI&feature=plcp&context=C31e4ab5UDOEgsToPDskKd_-vUJr7oblkbSSeBz_dZ[/ame]
This is the rough hone on the block to get all the cylinders equal in bore. We can now size the new piston to fit. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Does it not make as much of a difference with a iron Dino block not using torque plates? The 308 block I just honed using the same machine measured .0005 cylinder growth in the direction of the skirt towards the top 25% of the cylinder liner.
We only use tq plates on Aluminum motors. You could see and feel the lip at the top of the bore from the piston wear.
