Yes , youd want to be very carefull .
Oversaw, saw over, cracked the whip ,
well - offered moral support ,
Whikle a olde fart bored a Kieth Black Hemi block for new O S liners , took two days of daylight with his clamp on the deck face boring machine .
The Glad recipieants collected it monday . All the sleeves a lightish hand push fit in the alloy block . By thusday there was pandamonium .
All Assembled it wouldnt turn over . Probly the head bolts pulling things about .
Another weekend taking a few thou. out , so the sleeves dropped freely and unobstructed .
Happy Campers , turned over fine .
Was the Ex ' BALOO ' NZ Nitro Burner , running methanol & Iron Heads , to hold the well used block inline . Aledged 1.000 horsepower .
And the record & championship in that class that season . Around 97 .
So ' The Correct ' fit is important . But correct is where you need to get, for that set up .. talking %ages of a tou. I would think .
Probly exactly zero - for a thumb ' push fit ' . Cleaning the case bore thoroughly may well get it there .
