I don't know about the bore but it is a 97-mid99 LS1 block with the two small rear oil passage holes instead of one large opening as in later blocks.

So is the block bad? I just got one that still has the rotating assembly I took the heads off and lots of burned carbon. Can I just put the heads on after a clean and get my car running before my rebuild later?

He makes a point to tell folks such as your self, just how old the thread is and how long it’s been since the original posters have been on here. CattleAC was just messing with GAtsma with his post. It’s all just fun and games at that point.
