[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 54142, member: 456"] Once again I am not sure that I am following this correctly but if I am, and if the liner has turned in the muff, then it almost certainly is not a good fit and will not get rid of the heat quickly enough. Particularly in a hot climate. I used to pin all my liners into the muff with one of the original big end rollers pushed through a hole in the top flange of the liners and into the muff. This way it cannot rotate. It is a trivial task to get the old liner out of the muff. Just put it in an oven, muff to the top and let it heat up. Eventually you will hear a clang as the muff falls down the liner to the reduced diameter part of the liner. When replacing liner you must keep it under pressure while it is cooling in order to stop the liner flange ending up with a gap between it and the top of the muff. If that happens then it will continuously move down with use and you will loose the seal between the head and the liner. I do not know the characteristics of the epoxy you mention but most normal epoxies will soften at high temperatures. Whatever you do, good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
