i STRONGLY suggest getting it done......

habitat, what all does that price include?????

 

hey spud r u using ur stock flywheel or did u get a light weight one

 

stock flywheel

 

does the block have to be assembled to be balanced?

 

Balance and assemble for about 350. My dad works at a remanurfacturing shop and has lots of tools, I can get it Re bored by them OR Have it honed (which ever is needed) Wehave to check the bore in cylender1 becausea pistonsidewall let go. So were gunna check foroblongbores and such. Hopefully i can find myself a LOW interest credit card (as thats how im paying for it cuz its better than getting a new car!) And ill hope to get this thing on the road by the end of spring!

 

both are needed......bore it, then hone it......make sure to hone the upper lip that is on the top of the cylinder wall....otherwise you will have the possiblility of catching a ring on the lip and breaking it.....
a block needs to be honed after its bored.....otherwise it might not be prefectly smooth

make sure that when they check the bore size, they dont measure it on he very top of the cylinder....you can feel the lip in there and it will throw off the whole bore

when you have the crank balanced, they dont use the block....only the whole rotating assembly components before the block is assembled

 

Oh really! Thats good to know. So If they need that, Do they need the timing gear at the bottom? (i think i need a new one cause i chipped mine taking it off the car.

 

i was told that they probally wont since it is a fairly light piece....but you might wanna check first

 

ALRIGHTY! so im starting my head work! Im gunna make nice smooth intake and exhaust holes/ports!! Anyone know if there is a such thing as TOO smooth on the head? ive heard on intake mannis that too smooth will causeflowproblems!

 

all you really need to do is gasket match the openings
