Would have been nice. I now find that the third bore has a horizontal crack, perhaps an inch to inch and a half long just above the pistom dome when fully bottomed. The bore is one of two, .060 or .090. There is no descimal point so depending on how you look at it, could be either and I haven't miked it yet. I'd venture .090 over is too far to sleeve and bore back to .090 so I'm thinking it is back to stock or a better block. Any thoughts? My first thought is Terry's new engine.

The "Not" so Ace Mechanic.
