I think quikbbmustang might be back lol
JJ was a 352, not a 360. It started life as a 4.000" bore. It seems like you misunderstand a lot of my posts, so let's go over a couple of things.1. I said .005" very tongue in cheek, as in "I really don't care what you do to your own engines and if you wanted to try a cylinder wall at .005" thickness, then more power to you." I'm scratching my head as to why you would even think about taking that literally?
Ross,In answer to your question, if you re-read my responses, you'll find this:QuoteMy own opinion is that you should have a min wall thickness of .120 but I found some wet sleeves at .115. Those are even, all the way around and not thicker in some/most areas. But, my main interest was at what thickness do you start loosing hp. There was no answer to that! I was hoping to find a few builders that said "I freshen this engine, X number of times and dyno it, each time. When it got to .X over, it lost power and I had to replace the block".Again, I am not advocating running under .120 walls but, I am saying that if your sonic test shows a area down to that, I wouldn't worry about it.Don't worry about not seeing it at first, most of the guy's on ST, that couldn't answer my question with facts, did the same thing, I said it 3 or 4 times there and Brent thinks I want to run .005 thick walls. I really don't know what to think about that type reaction?

LOLWhen my engine is done, I'm beginning to think it might not be worth posting results.Here's a novel suggestion; instead of killing someones cool engine dyno post, why not pose a question in the main forum? Frank?
No worries It's all relevant to the discussion.
