I recently moved to eastern NC (Greenville area) and I am looking for a honest, reasonable, quality machine shop that can repair (bush) worn lifter bores in a small block chevy. Only one bore appears worn but it may be more after miking Thanks for any suggestions you will share.

If allowed for your class, another option would be to have the lifter bores taken out to .875", and run that size (Ford) lifter.

No rules that would stop me from boring them to a Ford size but I still need to find someone to do the machining.

I don't know whether it's feasible, but the Mopar lifters are the biggest diameter, at .904".
If that would work for you, and bigger is better, it might bear looking into. Then again, maybe that size won't work in your engine... Check it out. Bill

If you are in eastern NC you should contact Doug Hobgood @ H & F Performance in Wilson, NC. They do our engines and many class racers from this area. You won't find nicer people to work with. Their number is 252/243-2050.

>>>"Wrong again, Mopar not biggest @.904 Oldsmoble had lifters @ either .924 or .930"<<<
Thanks for that information. I am sorry for the mis-information. I wasn't aware of the Olds lifter diameter. Was that ALL Olds lifters, or just a select few applications?.
