Sadly, Pops and I had a similar experience with a machine shop and their
inability to bore a TR6 block to the specified dimension for new pistons. The
first attempt, pistons would not even go in the block. By the time I am ready
for pistons, I am hours in to cleaning and prepping a block. Talk about
frustration.
Block goes back.
Next try, we are a little smarter, first thing we check is piston clearance.
Guess what, the pistons donâ??t fit.
Block goes back and a very long conversation commences with machinist.
Block comes home and by this time we had finally purchased a dial bore gauge.
We check the bores and clearances are spot on.
Lesson learned. Trust but verify. Funny because thatâ??s my mantra at work
being an engineer.
silly me.
