K series block...
I was wondering if anyone has resurfaced a series block themselves.? I wasn't planning to build this engine but I ended up looking into it and found that it was in good shape inside. The piston and rod were shot from overheating, I assume from low oil and the #30 carb on it. I already have the parts that were ordered for another engine that has an egg cylinder. I've found with this new engine that the cylinder deck isn't flat. I know that the head will clear this rise but I'd like to flatten the deck. The local machine shop quoted me $225 to surface it. I really don't think I want to spend that on just surfacing the block. So has anyone done this at home with just the basic tools? If so how and what did you do and use?
