So, the question is: "what did you come up with for piston to wall clearance? Then you have to take into account what it's going to need to clear up and get rid of that ridge. Which more than likely caused broken rings. And yes, if you call a machine shop to say, "I want to bring in my Block and just have you check the bores for me." See, "if I can just re-ring it", with the emphasis, that you don’t want to leave the block, you just want to check it. I have Done it myself, often enough to know the routine.

Well, since you put it that way, I need to have them turn the Crank and match the Crank and Rod Bearings. They need to magnaflux the block and check the Rods.
Let me send you all the information now and you look at what I have and I will continue to get the rest of my measurements the way that I have learned recently. You will have enough information from what I send you until then, OK, fair enough. Then we will discuss the rest.
