we have a large mill in our shop so I suppose I could set up a boring bar and thin the thing out a bit might give that a shot, as for the machine shop the only decent one around is an hour away and its cheaper this way were set up to do cylinder heads in shop and deck blocks I suppose (havent done one yet but its about the same as a head just taller) Ill let you know how it goes on the rest of them I figure I can remove, replace and deck the block on my own, just have to send it off to be bored to size
