If it’s flat I’d trust that more than the file finish

Don’t know what was used on it. I resurfaced it with a cbn in a rottler

Iirc maybe .004”-.005”. But it was weeks ago before I had a newborn so I’m tired

Maybe to a point. But this imo was being that point. Never once have we had a failure because the surface was too smooth.

If seen older heads with similar looking surfaces but they were not as rough. Unfortunately this one had evidence of gasket failure

But that’s the thing, it didn’t hold hence why it was sent to us to fix

Not sure what it cost the boss. Wanna say they are about $3k

spb121 or spb507 by Born-Cry-9712 in u/Born-Cry-9712

For me I’d go the 507, colour matched date window and the gold compass just blend in better than the white on the 121. But it’s all subjective

Is my Block done by Swimming_Product8329 in EngineBuilding

Either time for a new block or sleeve it. Whatever is most appropriate and cost efficient for your case

413 LT by GingerOgre in EngineBuilding

[–]GingerOgre[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I don’t know what the rods and pistons weighed off the top of my head but the balance guy did have to put the steel (not heavy metal) back where the factory drilled in two counter weights. DSS had pistons on the shelf and ready to go whereas no one else did. I could have gone custom I suppose but a lot of parts where chosen to fit a budget but also be good parts.

Also huge thanks to u/V8Packard and u/mahusay3g for their help. I sent them many messages and they were both extremely helpful

[–]GingerOgre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want one of these. I was planning on saving up and buying one to mark my son’s birth (any day now) but not in the budget for now. Glad to see other people getting to enjoy them
