Questions on lifter bore correction

[Allen Sherman]

Listen to Dwight's advice, the bhj fixtures are about as bad as just leaving the block alone, we have a CNC mill at my shop that we do this job on, can't beat a CNC machine when it comes to exacting tolerances. We only charge $450 though and seeing that others are charging $500-700 to do it on a manual mill I might need to go up on pricing...lol

BHJ fixtures were like hooked on phonics,worked for me.LOL
Allen,
Ten years ago when I did lifter bores w/BHJ we got $375.00 SBC $425.00 BBC including bushings, by time took and bushings was how we come up with those numbers,CNC you can walk away some,manual machine pretty much stuck there.

Allen, Without the fixture, what do you use for a reference, and how do you choose the angle ? thanks

Factory blueprints and a CNC is the best.

I do all my blocks in a HAAS CNC machine and we only charge 275.00 for machining lifter bores LOL. I guess I will have to go up.

I'm $450 to bore block, install bushings and bore and hone bushings to size
