specifications of the recessed groove around the pistons in the later 1296 or
1500 block? I want to convert an early 1296 block to use the recessed head

used to do it
for motorcycles was to drill the guide with a slightly larger drill
until it was flush with the head, then heat the head to about 300
degrees in an oven and drift out the guides with a stepped drift. Of
course these are small heads and they are aluminum.
