So the machine shop screwed up. They bored one of the cylinders .040 over and then realized it was supposed to be .020. I cant get an .040 piston from JE unless its custom ordered, and that would take 3 weeks. Im just going to have them sleeve the block at their expense. Dumb shit.

I would do .040 but like I said, pistons would take too long to get. Sleeving the block will be just as good as new, plus it costs them a lot of money to sleeve the block. Assholes deserve it.

I used a combination of a 24 grit open coat grinder, a 9-inch air sander, and the dremel.
I got my block, head, and crank back from the machine shop today, so assembly will start very soon.
