so i dropped the block off at the machine shop last week. they called me today and said im sorry i have some bad new for you. 3 of your cylinder walls are extremely bad so we have to bore out the walls to 30 over. so my budget at the machine shop when from $280 for having the block clean, walls deglazed and new cam bearing installed to $465 to have the engine bored out to 30 over. not to mention the fact that i go t ahead of my self and bought piston and rings for a standard bore 390. so now i have to buy new pistons and rings that are 30 over

Whomever you bought the pistons/rings from should exchange them for you.

Ditto that, hope you learned from it...

Engine rebuild, make a budget and double it for reality's sake.

yeah i had 500 set aside for the machine work just hoping it wasnt gonna take all of it. as for the piston and rings i bought them over a year ago so they are out side of the exchange window

well it is best to have the clyinders checked before you buy pistons. maybe someone on the board can use them.
