ok i just purchased a h23 bottom end wiith a snapped crankshaft for 300$ came with je forged pistons in great shape, brand new pr3 rods (how are these for boost?) and sleeved from local machine shop. ok here is my problem.... the main bearings on cyl 2 ate into the block a little bit. by little bit i mean about 1/4 inch. is this block junk or can it be saved with oversized bearings from somewhere? really dont wanna scrap it due to the sleeves i have heard of clevite making race bearings but are they available for this app.? any help info appreciated. anyone ever done or heard of anything like this?

there are shops that will weld and machine to spec aluminum blocks, but I would feel alot safer with a new block. 1/4 inch is alot of material.

if the goal is to boost the engine eventually any damage with the block like that is just gonna get made ten times worse, i'd say salvage what ya can and get a new block if you want a reliably boosted engine

machine shop said it can probably be line honed. now need to find some better bearings and better rods for the h23. only rods i can find are like 700$
