When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

A place for everything and everything in it's place, just can't remember where that place is.

Re: FB ute
I’m not surprised, although one must ask themselves where the missing piece is ?
Do you have enough bore material to go oversize ?

Re: FB ute
Is that a chunk OT of the piston top edge?

The hole in the piston may or may not explain why she was puking out oil at a prodigious rate for the last hour of her life …..

…… or maybe it’s time for a new one

This block is cactus anyway, has cracks between the head bolt holes and the water jacket - is +.040” so won’t clean up at 60 so in the bin it goes.
Will reuse head, oil pump and some bolt ons but that’s about it

Re: FB ute
Big ends are .030” so crank may be a bin job as well …. Will have a look inside the oil pump tomorrow and see if it can go around again
