Re: Block Sleeving and parts fabrication
why does no one seem to machine port with vertical tool paths for finishing. i'd much rather see a vertical scallop than horizontal to improve flow.
something similar to this:

Re: Block Sleeving and parts fabrication
I'm going to sleeve my own block soon, LS+Darton - any tips and tricks? Or things to look out for?
Remove oil pan studs and bolt straight to table - or do something trick involving the mains?

The Rottler is $30k cheaper and 2000lbs lighter . . .
In this case you do get what you pay for.
Darrin Morgan had a great post on this on speedtalk

The centroid is the best choice for anyone that wants to sleeve blocks and port heads without buying two machines. It also does not do bad on parts runs either.

Re: Block Sleeving and parts fabrication
I was curious if you guys did any of the cleanup on the blocks, meaning media blasting? If so what media are you using? Another question that may have been covered but I just skimmed the entire thread, where are you located? Keep up the great work. its nice to see someone these days prides themselves on doing quality top notch work. Hard to come by these days. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.
