Hey folks,
Took my 12/2 Heads, cylinders and pistons to the local machine shop. They mostly recondition engine heads, but they've been around 30 or so years so they've some experience with all sorts of machines and the work to keep them running.
They will check the valve seats and remove some stuck studs, and the COVs - tried with everything I have....
Also because the RHS piston was seized (now free) the bore is pitted and will need some work. Both cylinders have been sleeved, and the machinist recommend boring it out maybe 10 thou.
He also mentioned I'd need new pistons to go with that... So do I? I can see oversize rings, out to +30 thou, but nothing about oversize pistons. So appreciate a lesson in cylinder/piston/ring options if someone has the time? I have 38AC's Lister specs from the WOK article, but that didn't answer my question, or I'm too thick to work it out.
Thanks
Samo
