Yeah.If someone bates me,they get a straight honest answer. Way back in this thread I said I was done. But that wasn't enough for Gasser. He had to make comments about Pat and me. Some threads like this one involve more than the original question in the interest of the O/P. I felt/feel to put in a performance cam in a block of that kind of over bore is risky and brought forth that advise. Did I fuel this debate??. I don't think so. One thing to consider,well really two, is these posts go out over the net due to search engines and are searched from newbies. Misleading info leads to that dreaded phone call from the machine shop the block is cracked after a attempt to bore it bigger than it can handle. The range of machine shops and readership is all over the map. More often than not people read answers that they want. I am offering advise founded on the normal limits and one that should not end up badly. Wither it be the install of a performance cam in a .080 block or the .080 block it's self.

Am I seemingly taking the hit for this thread???. Well I know what I did was the right thing. Giving Gasser two times to show his knowledge (sonic testing and wall thickness) and even than opening the door by saying you never had a failure.Yet he never showed the other side of the story honestly. It was more important to be completely right.

No I didn't stir the pot on this. I replied to being bated. Straight forward and honestly.
