RobertKB Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) This thread has more twists and turns than Russian Hill (I think that is the name) in San Francisco which I actually drove down on my honeymoon in 1975 in a rented VW bug. I believe it is now closed to traffic. Edited January 16, 2010 by RobertKB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertKB Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 isnt that lombardi street??? I googled it and it is Lombard Street which is part of the neigbourhood of Russian Hill. I think that is right but I stand to be corrected as I got the information from Wikpedia and you know how accurate/inaccurate that can be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Hill,_San_Francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, they are a phone call away or have your engine rebuilder phone them. I have never dealt with them but lots of members say good things about them.

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) with all due respect Michael but if you were to slow down on your questions and read the answers you have already received to this reponse you would have all the answers as this was covered very early in this post.. besides..did you not say the block was getting bored? if so then your question is irrelevant and your machinst will know the slugs you need to install..I do not know any machinsist that will bore the block without the slugs on hand Edited January 17, 2010 by Tim Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 your machinist should inspect the engine and will tell you the size he will need to bore to clean the cylinder....and you may even find a machinisht that will bore to within a few thousands of that bore just to ensure a clean cylinder to be sure...but every machinist I have ever had to bore the blocks requires the pistons up front to ensure the final fit which is a hone finish will match the slugs you bought...
