Default Re: The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

I know for the flathead V8 the recommended minimum cylinder wall thickness is .100.
And of course you have to look for core shift so you would need to check all points of the bore with your sonic meter and accept nothing thinner .
I don't know if core shift is a thing with model A blocks but it sure was with later V8 blocks in the 70's .
