The Audis used to be notorious for having ovaled bores, even with the nicasil materials. We only used 2" steel and got very nice results. Too bad there is not a similar fix for align boring the mains and cam bearings.

Unless those are 10" bores doesn't look 4-5" thick to me. Maybe my old man eyes tho .. - Yippers® 2006-06-01 20:45:07 (141 views)

Just looked thicker than one we made! thought later was bcause he wanted 2 do w/o bolt spacers - A400 2006-06-02 11:43:52 (164 views)

Well, we all know that it's impossible to do it better once you've done it. - Mike O. 2006-06-08 07:31:27 (138 views)
