it 2 mm to big alloy cc601

If 2mm too big means the outside dimensions are 2mm oversize, then I guess this is a miss.

Have fun in the shed  ;D

I recon if the casting is too big then the mould has been rapt to much. And if it is to small there is not enough contraction on the Pattern that you used (Honda Casting).
