Just what I've been thinking --thanks Ron ! (still use your original
signed book).

I have a 35 v8 bored 82.5 over but 2 wrist pin clips let go --two
cylinders have two bad score grooves. All the rest seems serviceable-
including the poured babbit main bearings

Think i'll learn to use my 1930s Van Norman boring bar on a junker--
then bore the 2 cylinders to 125 hope the scores clean up -run 2 bores 40 over other 6!
If not ok --plan 2 -- sleave the cylinders run it !

Friends say Naah, Naah. I still want to do it

Thanks for the example!!

All good Old FORD FUN--what say!
