Block Honing
Who is a good machinist to hone a block for a stocker? Would like to find someone using the newer CNC honing equipment. Preferably in the SE. Just let me know what you recommend.
Thank You Robert |

Re: Block Honing
I am sure that Randy Daniels OR the Warren family would be up for the task.

Re: Block Honing
If I was having a block honed I would sent it to Brad Lagman at QMR.
https://qmpracing.com/ However he usually has a pretty big backlog. |

Re: Block Honing
A profilometer is a must to get the desired finish on the cylinder walls. Jeff Taylor’s shop does a good job of hitting the numbers. New Sunnen SV 10 with the screen.
To get the best work possible have a set of old mains installed and torqued to keep the block bores from getting dinged. Have an old set of head gaskets the correct thickness and make to go under the torque plates, yes one on each side if possible. It probably makes no difference but I assign bolt and or stud placement. Over the years I have my own torque plates. Another great shop is BES in Indiana. |

Re: Block Honing
They're pretty far away from you, but we use Day Enterprises, just north of Nashville TN. Chris Amos does our work, and Day Enterprises has the new Sunnen CNC hone.
