Bare block straight from the machine shop

Cross hatch pattern on cylinders.

Front view of block. Block was baked and magnufluxed and prepped at Oreilly's Machine Shop in Springfield, MO

Block was bored .030 over. New brass freeze plugs were installed.

Block was found to be straight so we opted to not line hone the block

Block weighs about 265 pounds or so I've been told. I'll drop in on my foot sometime and find out.

Another shot of the block. It's amazing how clean they can get these things. This thing was a big mass of grease when we pulled it out of the car.

That furry face at the end of the tunnel is one of my kids. The most expensive to maintain I might add.
