  1. Also, Tinman, can you lend clarification about the rpms that his motor was capable of or achieved? Word is (like I said) that is regularly saw 9500 and even 10500. Is that true, or do I need to edit that?

     

    The engine is capable ~9000rpms. Not sure where he shifted as the car still has only the factory tach, best guess somewhere around 7500.

  2. The .001 is a factory undersized bearing used to keep everything in spec. This was and is often done in the assembly plant. If the crank was turned it would have been at least .010" under not .001"

     

    ALWAYS bore and hone a block for a rebuild unless it has next to no milage like a race motor that is freshened at least once a season. A ridge forms at the top of the bore after years of use, if this ridge is not taken down to the new bore size, the top piston ring will crash into it and either break, never seal right or both.

  3. Starts fine, hesitates a little untill warmed up. Once warmed up it runs perfect except when the throttle is applied in one certain spot about 1/2 throttle. Before that spot is great and after that spot is also, but when trying to accelerate a little more than moderatly it goes lean, apply a little more throttle and it smooths right out. Only a minor nuisance.
