steve baker Moderator Aug 13, 2022 #4 EZ Bore works great and very accurate. Been using that for about 15 years with no problems on hundreds of Animal blocks.

CarlsonMotorsports Site Supporter Aug 15, 2022 #5 EZ Bore is certainly much quicker and easier than indicating in on a vertical mill. We bore probably 90-95% of our blocks with the EZ Bore system. ----- Thanks and God bless, Brian Carlson Carlson Racing Engines Vector Cutz www.CarlsonMotorsports.com Carlson Motorsports on Facebook 33 years of service to the karting industry ~ 1Cor 9:24 Linden, IN 765-339-4407 bcarlson@CarlsonMotorsports.com
