[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 40130, member: 2781"] Absolutely the best and the way Bill Jean in his superb shop would do it , but very expensive to purchase . Not what was requested or needed for an easy check . The original owner of his Vincent would do it as I described as most back then did . I was there . The original muff assembly by now is a poor thing anyway , a loose fit when hot having lost most of its interference fit and there are pockets of burnt oil up between in many places so cool very poorly if run at any real speed . And will easily seize its piston . Modern replacement cylinders are far better from the best machinests and cool far more effectively . No comparison . Sid . [/QUOTE]
