Yep, that's what it took. Someone had already rebuilt it in the past and went .030. The machine shop said he tried .040 and it was still "kinda rough" and took it .060
He said that the block is finished after this rebuild because .060 is the very max.
You can take yours to .060 too but the cylinder walls are getting thin at that point.
Anyhow, I heard .060 is the max.
