yes it does work. You can see the liners just about showing the cross hatching still visible. I intent to measure up and if within tolerance I plan to deglaze the bores with a hone in a drill, any advice? The last time I did this was not good and I never found out whether it was my glaze busting or a mates ring fitting but the fog behind my reliant was very thick!!!

I posted a link to this thread above
Well worth a read Sarran has some useful tips on glaze busting

Thanks a good thread. Wow does he get his engine bits clean. I'm just settling for ish clean by the looks of it!!! I figured the crank and camshaft will get oily again soon enough!! EGR cleaner spray is good for carbon on pistons. (AS is induction cleaner spray)

Did something similar to a Hillman Hunter, A Vauxhall HC Viva and a P6 Rover.
Wouldnt like to try it with todays array of complicatd power units.

Thanks - I've spent many hours scrubbing! I'm inherently lazy and messy, not sure where the sudden onset OCD has come form with this!

Its on temporary hold at present whilst I decorate the house ( ) but back on with the build soon. Glaze busting is to be done, will be getting a three pronged grinding stone affair from MachineMart and taking a punt on it myself i think...

I had the same 'why didn't I just get elite to build me one for a grand' moment, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end!

Good luck with it!

Cheers
