So I’ve been out and bought a damaged forged engine with plans of rebuilding
stripped down and got everything measured up today
last person who built it had it machines for 74.5mm pistons.
The cylinder that had spun a bearing has one spot mid cylinder where the worse of the wear was going on that’s measuring near 74.9mm, not a lot of room to play with for the next size up
the rest of the bad bore is all okay measuring close to 74.5 it’s literally just one spot.
does anyone know if a machine shop would even bother trying or is this likely to not clean up well to 75mm.
I know it’s a bit of a broad question but such a shame to scrap it when I’ve just bought it
Cheers
