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

of course you measure it, then you 'know' if the crank journals are within spec or if they do need to be ground and you 'know' if the bores have too much taper so will need to be bored or not. measuring is cheap to find out if machining (which is expensive) is required or not. your checkbook approach was made very clear in this one post, leave the rest to the cheapskates.

Pay attention to my new posts. I’ll say it again to save you some time. If you are going to use OE service tolerance limits there is no sense measuring anything. The FSM says most anything will run. And it will. It will just be running quite sorry. No sense measuring something when you don’t care how loose or tight it is right? Or how straight and round it is. Just keep that 1980 budget in tact.
