Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Also I was surprised when removing torque plate cylinders were. 0015 out of round up top. Bolted plate down again and checking cylinders were round again. It surprised me.

Did they deck the block ? If not that could be the reason.

They are of a lightweight design, light and have scalloped and windowed mains. For a full race engine, you can fill the block and used a girdle, or sleeve to a 307 bore size, a 1968 thru 1971 high nickel block. |

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Slow progress but progress. Cleaned up oil passage on main cap. Removed burr on hole entrance and the port to block had a large restriction dog leg in it. So I straightened dog leg in port. The oil hole in block was about .060 smaller then oil hole in cap so I matched those. Drilled and tapped passeges in main caps to run oil restrictors.
