Okay, first off the folks that bored my block did a messy job of it, but things get much worse. I find someone to check their work, piston to wall clearance, deck tolerance so I drive over with the block in my trunk. When I open the trunk, the block has fallen over onto my steering knuckles and got dented inside the sleeve!! It's at the top and could possible be milled. Does anyone know the limit I can mill the deck with a b16 head and stock cams?

Advice?

 

take it back to the machine shop and ask them to measure it and see if they can machine it.........if .010-.015 can be removed safley then i wouldent worry about it.......if it's anymore then you might need some extra cash........

 

cute beagle. looks like mine

 

There is no way I'm going back to the shop I got the work to. When I first had some problems with them, namely the block was returned dirty I was told I could clean it. Obviously customer service is not a priority. I'm not even going to waste my time and effort on them, just cut my losses and move on. Worse case senario ,my more competant machinist told me, is resleeving (starts at 150.00 a cylinder). I suppose it could be worse, but I'm trying to stay positive. Car has been on jackstands for 9 weeks already.

That's my best friend's beagle, her name is China and she is hilarious. I've never met a dog that was always starving. You'd think she never get fed even though she's a hefty 35 lbs.

 

Jeff, call me. A similar thing happened to me. We can meet up. -Calvin

 

'sup Calvin,

I finally found a good shop, Duffin engine service. They do a lot of motorcyle work, but are familiar with honda heads. I'll be putting things back together this weekend.
