[Alphabettispaghetti]

I’m going to get the bottom end ready for some machining.

ive got a few MM coming out of the block, does anyone know or remember where in the Uk has a torque plate for boring ?

thanks

I don’t know about the torque plates, but pmac and Steve Kiddell used this place in Northampton for all the blocks they’ve had done on various projects, including big bore liner jobs:

It’s on my shortlist for Dixie’s engine as I intend to have liners fitted to guarantee a specific safe wall thickness. Negates all the faff with core shift, etc. It’s about £700 to have that done to an L-series block.
