I have a nice Navigator which I built up from a box of bits. It went together pretty well, and I couldn't see any reason why it had been stripped down.

Does any body out there know where I can get a cylinder block rebored and honed to a finished size of less than 0.0002'' ( two tenths of a thou') out of round/ ovality?This is the recommended sizing according to CP pistons, AE technical and others

As autumn has arrived, I retrieved my Barbour jacket from the back of the garage, sprayed the dust off with the garden hose, and hung it in the hall cupboard. I was then informed by SWMBO that it was, dirty, scruffy, smelly and disgusting.
