The industry standard and Chevrolet’s standard for cylinder wall thickness is a minimum of .200 thousands of an inch. Chevrolet’s own advertising for the lsx block states “maximum 4.250 bore at .200 minimum wall thickness”. My defective block had a smaller 4.185 bore, hence the remaining cylinder wall thickness should have been .2325. However the sonic testing that was performed post-mortem discovered a bore thickness as little as .177 which effectively cheated me of .0555 thickness of metal or using a simple analogy in dollars, I was entitled to $232.50 but only received $177.00 dollars. A shortage of $55.50 or 24 percent!
Clearly this engine block was defective even by Chevrolets own standards. Below is the page directly from Chevrolet. As Proof , I circled in red where Chevrolet states cylinder wall thickness.
