This is what I'm afraid of since they are pretty brittle.This block was from a dirt track racer, and it has 8 sleeves and they measure 4.005, pistons at 3.993. The pistons are new, and the block just needs a quick hone.


Just CALL Line2Line and TALk to them. The coating they make and use is NOT like other coatings. They can easily make up that clearance and the pistons will fit better than if you bought new pistons and sized them.

It’s not like a regular coating. Don’t make this harder than it is.


What does the process cost?
