    That's a hell of a straight block ! Even the ca. Hole us near perfectly round. ( centered )
  • @CCAutoWorks
    Thank you great video this just gave me the confidence I needed to try and clearance my own block sence the machine shops around here don't really offer it
  • @ITSNOTMEITISYOU
    Thanks for taking your time and explaining everything. Good stuff

    Another nicely done vid. on exact subject I have to get done on my '72 Vette block for the Eagle crank and KB .060 pistons I bought. Plan to get rods checked, also get it all balanced. Was a good, but tired engine when I pulled it in 1988. Just NA build for my 91 convertible Camaro.

    I had a buddy build me a 377 stroker. (Bore was real nice because it was a low mileage block. So we decided not to bore it 30 over.) He used a file to clearance the block since he didn't have a mill.

    I had to remove metal from the bottom of the cylinders as well as on top. Probably because I'm using beefy scat procomp rods.

    Nice work Jay. I need to map it out like you did. Great idea, real time saver.πŸ‘ Did you purchase or make the pressure test plate? I have broke through on the south of the border casted blocks. 207 casting I believe. Was a race car engine we Hard Blocked it. It was fine. Had 13to1 compression. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

    Hi Jay, great video. Question for you. What is the gasket material you used to seal the top of the block with the metal plate? Im trying to do the same pressure test but cant get a seal with what i have tried. Hope you can help. Also, do you use sealer on the bolts? Thanks

    Would the costumer need the crank and rods with him to see where they might hit? Or would you already know where to cut and how much without the crank and rods stabbed in
