    HI

    Very very nice work! Are pistons original?
    What about cylinder walls where they till ok or did you have
    to bore them over?

    Bye Jerry

    Motor was already a recent .030 overbore so saved the pistons and re-used after cleaning, glass beading with new beads, thoroughly washing in hot soapy pressure wash, measuring ring lands, fitting rings, breaking glaze on cylinder walls, and file fitting new rings to bore.
