Machine shop showdown!
My favorite machinist (RIP John Edwards @ Costa Mesa R&D) passed away over a year ago. I'm in need of a good machinist for basics for the next motor I'm starting to build up. Any opinions on RIMCO vs EMW for the basics? * Case deck, line bore, and clearance for stroker * Basic connecting rod stuff * Cylinder inspection and honing The normal stuff... Thanks. -Aaron |

-Use a good 1.7/1.8 block, you need to check but you shouldn't need a line bore.
-Case deck good plan. -No or little clearance needed for the case, rods need to be clearanced, it's the cam lobe in the way and why you have to use a reduced base circle cam. Also why you use chevy rods for strokes over 78mm. At 82mm you run into a lot of rod/cam issues. My favored combo 78mm crank with Type 1 rod journal and CB rods, with full balance. Crank has less flex with the bigger T1 rod journals. |
