shop is telling me block is .017 under min. deck height befor suracing , will be .035 after . also telling me lower bores all need
replaced which i find hard to believe when they didnt leak a drop befor & looked good to me , i found a guy who claims to have a
brand new 310 block (no oil cooler) , is this possible? if so what should i look for or stay away from , are gas & diesel blocks the
same ? what should the casting number range be for these blocks , my tractor number is 243905-685 . is 1300 a fair price ? or is
the shop being to picky on my block , it ran fine befor , just blew the head gasket because someone put 3 non turbo liners in it ,
now its a nightmare , would i be asking for trouble if i said surface the block , cut counter bores & put it back together , i have
the means to turn tops of pistons if need be , also have valve & seat equipment if needed could cut back on protution for clearance
, or should i buy the new block if it true ? dont want to repower with cummins , want it original & also already into it for rod ,
head , & block work done & overhaul kit , can someone please give me some advice
