Yep I’m inclined to rebore…….. but where is the fun it that.
Ok there is visible honing marks at the bottom of the bore and very faint to none at the top.
We did check top, bottom, front, back, and sides.
Bottom where spot on
Top.........three bores where all within one to two tho, manly on the thrust side.
Top on number one bore was closer to six….. but del said it was odd as it was more to the side and not on the thrust side, if that makes sense.
And the six tho part was at the very top of the stroke. They way del explained it to me was where the piston rolled over at the top of the stroke.
He got me to run my finger over it and I could fell the lip in the bore then as my finger slid down I could feel it go in and then come back out.
And yes I reckon it was only just the width of a ring.
I asked him what would cause and he felt that some thing was miss aliened and that’s why it was more to the side......
I might have to come down to south for a while just so I can get cheap rebore and mini parts.
The cheapest I have been quoted on a rebore here is three hundred dollars, I don’t think I’m going to be able to find one that does them one hundred to one fifty here doc.
If I could find cheap freight.........

Sydney might be the go
I’ll ring around more places next week for rebores cost next week………if any body could recommend some where up here I would appreciate it if you could send me some details.
Also looking for some where to do a crack test and grind on a crank. The same place that quoted me on the rebore quoted me three hundred on the crank.
Just to mention the block was a bare block so I still have to buy new pistons even if I re-ring.
Thanks GT mowog, Doc and 1310/71 really appreciate the replies and the input
Cheers Neil
