Inherited castings of the v8 engine, decided to work on it. Any advise? I am no stranger to machining as I have been doing it for 50 plus years. Can any of these castings be had anywhere anymore? What happened to Lancer Engineering?
As I continue with the Challenger V-8, I am at the point of boring out the cylinders now that the sleeves have been press fit. Anyone tell me the proper piston to cylinder clearance? From the prints it would appear the pistons will be .992 and the bore 1.000. Is that correct?
The pictures that i put up are from the challenger plans, but it seems like there could be a mistake in them, as the piston is .997 and the bore is .990, or am I looking at wrong
The Lancer instructions on the bottom of page 4 explain that you leave it small until after it has been installed by freezing liner/heating cylinder and then do the final boring to size.
