Update from Bob:

Cylinders have been bored and honed to 1/16” over size. We now have two perfect, round and true bores with no corrosion damage.

First Photo: Cylinders coming off the precision hone machine with the bores brought to size and cross hatched to help the new rings seat.

Second Photo: Cylinders set up on a vertical boring machine. The right cylinder is bored, getting ready to set up over the left bore.

Third Photo: Completed cylinder refurbishment. No pits!!

Also received the material to machine new pistons to match the oversized bores. The material is 5 1/4” dia. x 3”long G2 Duracast cast iron. The two pieces weigh 35lbs together. Most off that material becomes chips.

Fourth Photo: Original piston sitting atop one of the slugs. Next to them is one of the valve connecting rods and packing assemblies.
