What do you guys think?
If the block is already at or over Max tollerance, can this be fixed or is my block scrap now?
Find a new machine shop. No, your block isn’t scrap; it can be re-honed after the caps have been cut around .005-.007. Mike is correct; on a 3” main block I like to see the main saddle bores at 3.1880-3.1885. A COMPETENT engine machinist should be able to accomplish this relative simple operation without screwing it up,
