[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 85148, member: 597"] If the head to liner joint is leaking and the head bolts are tight my guess is the liners will be throw away items. The all important height that the liner sits above the alloy muff will be too short, and i have found trying to reclaim this is too hard. It is also possible that the top of the liner could be cracked radially around the top. Remove the barrels and first check I make is to see if the oil feed hole is too high feeding oil between the rings. This is often the case and another reason to replace the liners. Striping the heads to check the guides is normal practice, and I always fit the ET 100/1 locking feedbolt mod to all engines. It will be interesting to see what you find, but all the parts are readily available from the VOC spares co. I have quite recently bought 6 complete barrel/muff assemblies and all new standard pistons for same. It is easier and far quicker than mucking around trying to reclaim old parts mated to new parts which I have learnt the hard way before. Cheers.............Greg. [/QUOTE]
