[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 133566, member: 597"] To be honest, by the time I measure up everything, the barrels are usually junk........I don't muck around changing liners, especially if the height of the muff is under say 3.020" standard is 3.062 roughly.......You can blank off the holes with countersunk aircraft rivets bonded into the old holes, then drill new ones lower down..........If you use the piston minus the rings on the conrod, fit the barrel temporarily, with the piston at BDC put a texter mark around the piston crown/bore, then remove the piston and measure the marks verses the lower piston ring groove keeping the new hole a good 2 mm bellow this. Plenty prefer to not have the holes at all........personal preference....... I generally like to run them. [/QUOTE]
