Hi Folks,
Getting ready to drop my 68 200 block off for rebuild to the machine shop. I’m a first timer for block work, but I’ve taken a few heads in. Ive also never rebuilt a block or have much knowledge other than what I’ve read here, tech archives and YouTube. I just want to be smart about it and do it right.
When I drop the block off, is there any special considerations I need to jot down, share with the machinist, etc? They are doing the tear down, machine work, and rebuild. I have 2 kids under 3 and work full time, so I have no spare time to do this myself.
Anything special to the 200 I should make them aware of? What questions should I be asking? What should I be documenting? I saw somewhere clearances (not sure which ones they were referencing) should be measured and noted, but what other items should I be conscious about?
Appreciate your help ahead of time.
Cheers,
Matthew
