2 of the cylinder had spigots a little bigger than the rest and I think they were good but the other 10 got cleaned, roughed up, cleaned, jbweld. Who knew it came in tubes that big, 10oz! so I knew I'd have plenty. there will only be about 2 thou on the diameter on most when I'm done but a couple had a little taper and will end up with about 2-, which must be the ones that measured awful.

That needs 24 hours so on too removing those little oil tube with a slide hammer. The 1 came right out, the other needed a couple tries but its good its out as the hole is all corroded and looking like its on borrowed time.

Then on to cylinder flanges not fitting. I didn't cut the final sizes on the cylinder bores in the block a machine shop did, and I never measured then either, I just used the sheet they send me...I know..I know. The spigots are all pretty good and pretty close to each other but up top there is about 4 thou big to small and the 3 smallest the cylinder didn't real fit in....what to do? I decided that since they were so close and the cylinder do tap in that I could probably sort it with a bit of time and emery paper. Tap the cylinder in, see where it hit, sand it away, try again, repeat until sorted. On all 3 most of the issue was toward the front of the engine indicating the top holes were not completely in line with the spigot holes but its sorted now.
I'm a little torn about whether or not to torque the bearing caps on and recheck everything because I suspect the head studs deform things in the opposite direction.....this might be a sleep on it question.
