Fluid dissapearing

Hi Stina
I honed mine and put a kit in it in 1994 and it's still ok.

Hi Tony .
That's encouraging . Have to have a go the cheep way first . It'll either work or it wont eh

If it won't clean up with a bit of fine wet and dry lubricated with WD40 , throw it away

 

[DaveHerns]

If a bore has not been resleeved and you start honing away to remove the pit corrosion, the inside diameter of the bore increases so there is greater clearance between the piston, seals and bore.

So it's a bit like reboring your engine and putting the old pistons back .

Job done . Bore was in good shape , sprayed up the canister and put it all back together . Went out today no problems . Quite an interesting little project

Good news Stina. Always a nice feeling when a job ends up being easier than anticipated - with old cars the opposite is usually the case .
