That's what I used to think too, Pat. Once I started running a CK-10 I never wanted to go back to manual honing. Once you get the hang of matching the amps to depth of cut, they're great!!! I would torque down the deck plates, mic the cylinders, then set the cut gauge on the hone and watch the amps to get the preferred finish. You can get the same reults manually, but the power hone was really neat in that you could set it to run, and be doing something else while it did all the work. Guess I was just spoiled. Visited the shop the other day, heck now they are doing most of the porting with CNC equipment!!! The accuracy is phenomenal!!!!!!
Hey Scooter, the date on your birth certificate doesn't have a whole lot to do with how your mind works!!!! Sometimes lots of years of experience only means you stopped learning!!!! Young fools can still learn, old fools are doomed!!!!!!
:eek:
Oh heck yes!!!! It's a hundred times better then no honing table at all!!!! The thing is, the hone you have now will never be worth any less then it is now if it's maintained properly. Down the road you can always get your money back trading it in on a CK-10---or the new digital control one far as that goes.....
Another option, we used to lease a lot of our really hi-dollar equipment---if you have the volume the machine will make it's own payment........
Oh yeah, another one for Pat.... I just traded into a gorgeous old Sioux valve surfacing machine!!! It's about 40 years old and still in excellent condition....I'll have to get you some pics of it next time I've got the camera out in the shop. Thinking about getting one of the Ne-Way Seat cutters, friend of mine sells automotive machine tools and says he can get me a good deal. Can't seem to find anyone who will do valves the way I want them (maybe I'm too fussy?) so I guess I gotta go back to doing them myself!!!!
Newb question alert!
Honing and the massive machine pat showed = what?
I like little motors, I ran 11.80s back in 1975 with a 302 Chevy in a 2700# vega and had a ball. To each his or her own. Russ
the hone is use to get the wall ready for the piston ring after you bore a block it will need to be honed .or a rering. the big machine is for decking blocks and head and intakes this has a big cutting wheel with teeth and you can slow it right down for a nice job. i have the b.hj. tru deck for it. that get the block right on the money with the cam and crank center line this will put the deck of the block were it should beQuote:

WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! YEAH thats what im talking about always did want to drop a 302 into a vega:3dSMILE:
Thanks, I figured it had something to do witht he chamber due to the fact that any time the word "bored" is used, "and honed" follows it.Quote:

As for the machine, is it much different than a mill?
Hey Scooter, tell me when you're gonna start on it and I'll start on a Pinto with a 302!!! Then we can go race!!!! Gotta be a manual tranny though, non of this 'glide stuff!!!! Heads up, no electronics, no breakouts!!! Just the way it used to be, and in my opinion still should be!!!!! You'll be back in August, good a time as any to get started!!!!!
Hey Gassersrule, I still have an origional RAT FINK that I got out of a gumball machine when I was a kid. Russ
but remember when i get back im going to build a rambler:LOL:
I've primarily always gone the big cubic inch route, because they pretty much loaf along and can make awesome horsepower with very little work. But I have a 306 Ford in my '27 and a 302 in my Jeep truck, and they really responded well to basic modifications.
I hadn't been at the drag strip for years, and my 2 Sons and I went to the Ford Nationals in Bradenton a couple of years back. I couldn't believe the power some of the 5.0's were making. True, most of them were no longer 302 cubes, but those small blocks would haul.
My last (probably my last) serious engine is a 30 over 460 Ford that I am building for either a T bucket, or I am toying with the idea of building a bracket altered with it. The engine has mostly Cobrajet parts, a roller cam that is really too radical, roller rockers, ss valves, etc. and I can say 2 things about building a big block versus a small block:
1) Parts are a whole lot more money.
2) Parts are a whole lot HEAVIER !!
I lifted the crank not too long ago, and it must weigh twice what a 302 does.
I might be getting too old to build big blocks anymore..............NAH !!!!!

'59 Larks are better, looking just ask Tech. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
That's ok too, long as it's got all three pedals and at least 4 forward gears!!!! One of the rags had a buildup on AMC motors a couple years ago. If I remember right, they needed some work on the oiling system to live. You have a pm, Scooter

yeah they do need a little work on the oiling system not much though. oh dave my cars going to have a t-10 4 speed in it when i get back him and a friend are going to do it for me when im gone dial it in:D im depressed though i wanted to help im a hands on person haha. dad's gonna 5 speed his car with a straight axle this summer beat me to it!

Works for me!!! build it!!!!
Nice old belt drive

We got a mill at the shop (Old Dominion FSAE Formula Team) but it's an old POS and broke internally several years ago. The school is finally giving the Engineering dept some money so the old mill in the metal shop is coming to our shop now! YAY!!!!!:D Now I'll be able to teach myself how to use one and possibly get some usefull milling done :DQuote:
