This block has been rebuilt at least two times, ware on the on cylinder walls is nevitably. Straighting out the cylinder walls is must with CK 10 for good ring seal. But the last time it was bored was the problem, they should have sonic checked block for thin areas so they could centered the boring bar and not end up with thin side. It's a matter of choices now, on how to fix a problem cylinder wall, you could sleeve, or you could use block fill to stop cylinder wall deflection(which causes heat problems, broken cylinders, dirty oil, and premature ware). There will be a slight increase of oil heat, that you could take care of with a oil cooler. Block fill should be put in before any honing is done, no more than 2" from bottom of water jacket. Doing it correcly, you should be able have your cake and eat it to! with that bad boy good luck. Ray |
