I'd have to ask. How much does it cost to have a stripped block bored?
What does the "Lisle 15000 maybe" cost and how often do you plan on
using it? *Do you have the measuring equipment necessary to accurately
"bore" a block?

My own experience in engine rebuilding is that it is generally cheaper
to take the stripped block to a shop top have the work done.
*The lisle 1500 and a set of 80 and 320 grit stones is going to cost
the better part of $180, and one mis-step and the stones are history.

Ballanced against about $130 to have the job done right by a good
shop. *Then he still needs a good bore guage or equivalent micrometers
to do the measuring.

I have a good older inside micrometer set.

The machine shop sounds like the better and cheaper way to go but it's
always nice to have an excuse to buy new tools :-)
