Finally got round to dropping of the engine parts at my local machinists. He will pressure test the block and heads, scope the wear in the bores, measure the wear on the crank and check the pistons. If all that is OK we will decide on if new pistons and liners are needed or just some new rings and bearing shells for the crank with a skim for the heads.

Hi all
Went to see the engine man and he had some bad news but also some good news. The bad news was the bores are worn and need reboring, the crank is looking OK and the heads will be OK after a light skim to get all the gunk off. The cost of the new pistons will be balanced by the fact we should have all 128BHP to enjoy along with no problems for a long time engine wise.
Has any one any thoughts on reboring the liners in situ. the engine man was concerned that taking them out and putting the old ones back in was asking for problems with the sealing.
