Re: My Newest project....

So quick question for you guys.

I pulled apart my motor and found a bent rod on #4. I already knew this when I pulled the head.

However, when I dropped the block off at the machine shop today, me and the guy noticed that the rod must have slapped the very bottom of the bore. Its kinda hard to describe, but its right at the bottom of the cylinder. Small indention.

Now the cylinder is still smooth around it. No rough edges that would gouge into a piston skirt. But now I am worried that the block wont be useable.

What are my chances that seems as how its right at the bottom that it will never hurt the piston and rings?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
