Hello all,
I have recently bought a small machine shop and am involved in auto restoration and engine rebuilds. I have a Van Norman 944 which I have used sucessfully to rebore 4 cylinder engine blocks but I have now been asked to bore a VW VR6 engine block which is a narrow angle (15deg) V6 and uses one cylinder head so this means that the cylindewr bores are not square to the block face. Is there any way to use my 944 to bore this? Could I make a 7.5deg angle plate to bolt to the block face? I think this would be close to impossible to make accurately (at least for me with my limited skills)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Barrie
