Tubing the gallery with a twist

Well I just couldn't do it after talking to my machinist this morn. When I told him about the DIY thing, or maybe going to a .750 roller(which I knew was better...see post 1). He had a fit. "Do you have any idea how much time I put into that block?"..... "you wanted it PERFECT, now you wanna hack on it"....

So he said get it the hell out there and he'll correctly bush the bores for the cost of the bushings. He'd do it after hours, on his free time. It'll be done probably Friday morning. That is the kind of machinist I have and the relationship we have developed over a few years.

The only thing he had to find was a"print"... I guess a schematic of all the numbers and such. I think, because he doesn't have the BHJ machine. A lot tougher for him to get them spot on, but he will.

When I got there 5 brand new raw aluminum big blocks just showed up for 1 race team. This guy's busy but still takes care of the little guy. Lucky, huh?
