Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

Hmm so you just going to throw money at it without even measuring.. makes sense that you would do that. As it's pretty clear already that you have no idea as to why machine work can't and won't fix core shift. Then you try and bandage it up by throwing more money at a junk block. The friend I had probably would have scrapped your high dollar junk in the salvage yard. So go study core shift. And why it can't be fixed. And all of the areas that it effects and also why after spinning a main that the block is now crooked. Don't be cheap and lazy little buddy. Have faith you will get there. Just takes time

Let me back up the short bus for you. The point I made and went right over your head is the fact that there is no sense measuring anything IF you use factory service limit specs. Simple as that. As I pointed out, a bore with .0010 taper won’t just clean up without taking a couple of thou out. Now, if the bore was sized correctly to begin with and you add another .0020 clearance you just lost some ring seal. That’s because the piston will rock in the bore even more and the rings are attached to the piston. So the ring is not longer parallel to the bore. And since most forged pistons go in at about .004 clearance, that extra .002 you just added increased your piston clearance by 50%. That’s a big increase. And the same holds true for bearing clearances. In your world, why measure anything? It will all run. In my world, using 21st century tolerances that just doesn’t fly. Maybe you should find some new engine builders to hang with. Evidently the dudes you hang with now are dumb as dirt.
