[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 99415, member: 2879"] That holiday in the stud tunnel will be covered by the liner with just .0005" clearance, so I may just put some permatex or the like there when I slide things together permanently. Good idea about a flange nut, or someone recently mentioned a slight chamfer at the hole and using a tapered washer and sealant or an o-ring. I guess I will get by with something even if I have to fill the stud tunnel with sealant. I installed the liner in the muff today. At 200C the muff dropped right on the frozen liner. Despite putting some pressure on the assembly while it cooled the liner crept up a few thou. I reheated to 200C after clamping it with four bolts tightened through the stud holes and a big plate placed on the liner flange. That did it. (believe it or not, I still don't have a hydraulic press after all these years.) I was pleased that the cylinder assembly slid right into the rebored case mouth on the tight fitting two piece cylinder studs, so I guess I did the setup correctly. I have done some interesting things in the past 35 years with that little 3/4 horse Rockwell. It doesn't take up half the shop and runs on 120V. The 10" rotary table kind of dwarfs it, but it worked for this job since it can be placed vertically. I normally use a smaller 8". [/QUOTE]
