Funny thing.

I think his volumetric oil coagulator failed in tension thus causing a rapid evacuation of the engine block.

Leave it to Butch, that was supposed to be a top secret piston removal trick from Tennesee, how did you sneak a camera in there when we were supposed to be learning from the Master??? BTW, I'll be at RoadAmerica this weekend, look me up Pank, I'll be at the top of the hill between the concession stand and Pit Lane, truck will say Derhaag Motorsports on the side. You accused me of never letting you know where I was racing unless it was at Homestead, so this gives you another chance to educate me and show me your stuff at work in NASCAR.

thee hardblock engine will likely not run more that 15 mins with no cooling. I suspect less.Not meant to "use",just pull.

I bet you can't post any pictures of you takeing the pistons out the bottom.  When the bores get offset they get closer to the main webbing.  The main webbing is also thicker to the sides than it is in the center.

well that's funny i took  a couple of the slugs out the bottom. I could see if you stayed center of the original bores how web could get in the way but Shipmans block moved the bores and studs. Tarbills engine is bored on center and you can see where on his webbing is in the way. Its amazing that i pay to learn and offer it up free and some on here still like rod and the Wisconsin cheerleaders can't grasp it.  Lou the sleeves are interference fit meaning they are .002 larger than the bore on average . Average meaning sleeve stock measured three places will measure three different measurements and have to be averaged. Unless the od was turned as the 4.980 sleeve pictured was by me . The inside bore will be averaged as well when bored cause sleeve will crush in and isn't perfectly round . This separates the ones who do from the ones who don't.

Well bkarpel, the only person i know ignorant enough to install non removable studs, AND use all thread would probably be Shipman. Is that who did that block?? We know it wasn't pankey. 4.75 is not undo-able. My 4.63 motor has as large a counterbore as that with a nice strong sleeve holding it together. Just because you can does not mean you should. Do i think you could get way stupid on the structural integrity of a block and wedge a big bore in, sure. Do i think it's gonna end up I'n the scrap pile? Eventually, sooner rather than later. Especially with that monkey and football show you got there.

The only thing that will kinda help that engine live is that it is probably all hard block. That's probably why the sleeves are still In it and the studs are not removable. you are going to bore .206 out of it and push ANOTHER sleeve In a sleeve In hardblock. That's what it looks like to me.

Wow, just read the schedule 80 grade 8 pipe... I used to do a lot of pipe work and NEVER heard that one. This like the forged cast rods you invented a few months ago?   

Hey, I'm on a boat right now, we trollin?
