Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I received my boring head today and started the timing cover. I installed the cover on the engine ran the screws in slowly doing the countersunk ones first to make a repeatable install. After setting the boring head to the existing hole I moved it .005" to center it. I then took cuts of .100 until I got close and did a finish cut of .005. I will reinstall it tomorrow and see how it fits. Then cut the other center out. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Most of us wouldn't have known how to spec the boring head for purchase. You're gonna knock this one out of the park. Sounds like you're already .005" more accurate than the factory hole.
