if it hadnt been lying around so long i would just have thrown it in and tried it
nb head looks to have been passing across cylinders-oris it just the pic?
yeh this is the sort of work i was thinking of. Does anyone recommend anyone in particular to do the hone and head checks?
What do you mean by the head has been passing across the cylinders?
