The Gman 476 #1 Posted January 9, 2022 Engine is striped cleaned and ready for blasting. Need new sand in the cabinet. Results of the bore measurements are; Spec. is 2.625 min. Wrist pin direction (measurements are minus to the min spec). Top - 2 Middle - 3 Bottom - 1 Valve direction Top - 3 Middle - 4.5 Bottom - 2 Kinda expected that. Aluminum casting, no sleeve and worse on the loaded direction. Did alot of reading on honing aluminum and hypereutectic aluminum. (Say that 5 times with a mouth full of crackers). This block is certainly not that. All the other research says don't do it, mainly briggs. Biggest surprise was the ring gap. Spec. is .010 min. .020 max Compression rings measured ,075 and .077 "WOW" New rings measure .026 in the middle. Piston at the skirt measures just in tolerance. Crank jounal Spec. is 1.0615 min. Measures 1.0613 - 1.0614 I've gone this far so I'm gonna continue. Tranny Found the shift forks I needed, just need to order the bearings Wish me luck 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
