Nice, my motor is crap. Yeah, after the MILD overheating episode which cooked my head gasket, I got a look at the cylinders, not good. I have not miked the bore taper yet, but there is a definite ridge I can hook my nail on but only on the longways sides of the bore. There are also for lack of a better term vertical "marks" on the same sides where the ridges are. I say marks becuase it?s not "scoring" which I could hook a nail on, just dark verticle "impressions". The engine is currently being yanked to see what the lower end looks like. I called Napa in the States on a fact finding mission and they don?t even list that motor so were no help. Anyone know a place stateside were I can order some pistons and rings? The bores are stock at 91mm, can I oversise the bores or do I need to put in sleeves?

Opinions, advice and sarcastic comments all welcome <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
