Do you know anyone who can do the machine work rob?

I would not recommend any body else but HT Howards and co. I have used a fair few places in the past and they are by far the best. Buy the pistons BEFORE you take the engine to them. Specify a piston to bore clearance and leave the block/pistons with them. They will hone each bore to perfectly match each piston and then number them for you (like in the picture above).

I am very picky about engine measurements and when I say they were cock on I can't emphasise enough how accurate their machining has been for me.
