350 rusted cylinder
Hi All. You may have seen in a previous post that im tearing down a 350 for a rebuild. It was not spinning due to a rusted cylinder. Upon closer inspection there is some pitting that worked it way into the cylinder wall, leaving high and low spots that can be felt with your fingernail. In anyones past experience, is this easily repairable with an overbore? Is it likely the machine shop will have to go more than 030 over? Is it bad for the block to go 060 over if they have to? Or is this block junk?
I know you'll probably say to have it inspected by the machine shop, but just wanted to see if anyone had a previous experience.
Thanks.
