RE: My Pete rebuild Well, I find myself at a point where I'm running out of patience. 6,5,4 solid .014 (going by sled dial) 3 - .014- ~.0145 2 <.0145- <.015 1 <.0145 -<.015 At this point, there's no way I'm taking it somewhere and dropping it off. So, I'm left with 2 options: 1- Have a local shop come here and put up with me. I'll make the call in the morning. "Yeah, uh, I need my counterbores cut, but I only need less that .001" taken off 3 holes". We'll see. 2- Use an old liner, weld a handle on, and lap them. I'm tempted to try it out on the highest one if I get a 2nd wind this evening, but that's a lot of twisting, and I never did get a depth micrometer shipped, so it'll add a lot of time checking. In all reality, I already have something that likely exceeds what I would have likely got for a Cummins short block, and has much tighter tolerances than allowed - heck first time around MET Cummins specs, but I know me, and I don't know if I could slap it together like this and not lose sleep. On the bright side, I'm getting a 10 year, 1 million mile warranty on parts & labor (non-transferable), but what did Tommy Boy say about warranties? | |||
