Block Quaility
I have a new engine being built at the moment. I ordered a new block (its std mag), went and was talking to the mechanic today and head said he wants
to line bore the new block as he is not happy with the tolerances? is this normal for new blocks. I know its not a top CB block or similar, but is
this a common thing with new block these days?
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
