whoopie!

so i was taking my accesories of one of the flatheads i got and i found a rebuilders tag. Anyone ever heard of International Machine & Supply located out of Moose Jaw? The tag also states that the block is bored 0.040" over already. I dont know how tight they torqued the headbolts too but i broke 6 out of 24 trying to get the passenger head off. I also need to figure out a way to get a rusted in blockheater stud out too. Then maybe i got a jem, but too early to tell. So with a stock crank its a 245 and witha 4" crank its a 262

Awesome, bummer about the broken bolts though.
I had a 53 with Flattie years ago that was bored maybe .120 over, I`m not real positive about that.........

Ive heard upwards of 0.080" but even with that there would be some serious cooling problems

Most likely it was .080, when compared to later engines that still seems like alot!
