to bore or not to bore
Hello,
I found out today the 390 in my boat has a cracked block in the #1 cylinder. I took it to the shop and they are going to sleeve it. I don't want to get another block because this one had some serious oil passage work by Kuntz and Craft back in the day. We checked the wear and it is only 5 thousandths in the other cylinders.
Should I bore it to .030 or not? I have gotten several opinions but nothing defining. I would rather not bore it to keep the costs down but will do what is best.
Thanks, TR
Good to have her home finally, still need to go back and give her another polish after messing with the engine stuff. Made it up to Idaho. Also a local show.
