[TPR] Mach I engine progress

[John Bentley]

 yes, I thought there would be more wear.  Inside diameter measurements are difficult and need the proper tools.  The ends of the bore gauge or mic need to have a hardened point or small diameter ball.  Otherwise, there will be errors.

  I think JB like myself, would have expected to see more wear, which is why I'm not totally trusting my own measurements right now.  Again, these were just "quick" and not thorough.  When I get the space cleaned up a little (it's a real mess right now), I'll sit down and take more thorough measurements before sending it off for cleaning, sonic and crack check.

       JB, 
  Are you thinking it should show more ware or that do to age it should have already seen a bore job?

    well that's interesting since the original factory bore is 4.000 !  :) 
  How are you measuring ?  What type of tool are you using?

     A quick mic check of all cylinders just under the ridge shows  between 4.003 and 4.006, depending on the hole.

  I would say that stock nodular iron  crank is good for 500 hp for sure.  I would use it.
