The sad part about Cab's test is that you need to have the motor fully assembled to determine if you need to bush the bores. If you do then its damn near all the way back to square one !!

If it were me I wouldn't bush the bores and I'm at that stage with my motor now and I'm not (oil band lifters). Keeping my fingers crossed !!!



Additionally, to really be sure the block and oil would have to be at operating temperature. I redid a Hemi some time back that had perfect oil pressure-until it was fully warmed up. Then it fell to under 10psi at idle. Vintage block, flat tappet cam with lifter bore problems. Bushed block and problem solved.
