Lifter Bore Repair

bkeesee · 07-11-2009, 06:55 AM

I recently moved to eastern NC (Greenville area) and I am looking for a honest, reasonable, quality machine shop that can repair (bush) worn lifter bores in a small block chevy. Only one bore appears worn but it may be more after miking Thanks for any suggestions you will share.

If allowed for your class, another option would be to have the lifter bores taken out to .875", and run that size (Ford) lifter.

No rules that would stop me from boring them to a Ford size but I still need to find someone to do the machining.

I don't know whether it's feasible, but the Mopar lifters are the biggest diameter, at .904".

If that would work for you, and bigger is better, it might bear looking into.

Then again, maybe that size won't work in your engine... Check it out.
