Hey guys,
my shortblock is in bad bad shape (sitting outside without oilpan or cylinderhead on it for 2 years). I was at a machine shop and they gave me an estimate. For $400 they will do all the prep work to get it bored 0.04 over for my wiseco stroker pistons and get it decked. However if i do that I will have to buy at least 2 new oil squirter's since two where broken off.
So now if found a machineshop online that does 4g63t blocks and i was told they will to all the prep work (boring, honing, cleaning, decking surface, and linebore the mains and put in ARP studs) for about $500 including the shortblock.
Now my question is: If i work a deal with them should i send them the pistons that i already have and have them fit them or should they not need them? I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to just have them bore the block out to 0.04 (1mm over) and just expect the wiseco pistons to fit in right.
So please let me know what you guys think
