I had time last to hone the block and then test fit a top ring and 2nd ring. These Hasting rings are pregapped and the gap on the top ring was .032 as was the 2nd ring. The tapper on the cylinder is .001. I called Dick at Pacific Engine because this was way more than I thought it should be. Dick said not to worry about it that that is the way Hasting makes these for the big bore. He said he questioned it 15 years ago the first time he saw it and they have worked great like that. So I'll check them all on the cylinder they are going into and make sure they are all in the same range and thens tart assembling the short block.
By the way for Adam, the bore on the block is 4.362 and the piston as measured .500 from the bottom of the skirt is 4.358. I also measured it at the pin and it was 4.353 so your .011 as measured at the pin is about right.
Here's the deglazed cylinders. I didn't take much off because I didn't want the piston to wall clearance to be too much.
How does the pattern look? This is only the second block I've ever honed (I always have the machine shop do it) so be easy on me.
Haha, just breakin your balls.
