Well I recieved bad news from Gary the machinist.

He measured the pistons (.060) over ... but the block measured out .062...

He felt it was .002 too much ....

Guess not close enough for the rings to seal ??

Really sucks, as this was the OG engine to my '63 C-10, and wanted to use it as a temporary Burb engine...then stick it back in the truck when the time came...
