I had a guy mag the block, it turned out fine. However the cylinders need boring. He thinks they might have a taper to them, probably from someone reaming the heck out of the ridges on the last rebuild and then honing it a lot. The pistons are stock size. I'm probably just going to keep the engine and build it. I have most of the parts for a rebuild other than the pistons and rings anyway.
