750 DAMAGED CYLINDER BARREL

Forums

Hi Guys,

I have acquired a barrel (std. bore) with badly damaged skirts. ie. large chunks missing!

Presumably it could be bored/sleeved and the rod cut-outs re-machined but would it be worth the expense? 

I don't need this as a back-up cylinder (hopefully) so I'm not sure whether to keep it, or weigh it in.

Thoughts please,
Andy

I,ve just fitted RGM liners to a 750 block, still to bore/hone back to std size (this block had damaged skirts as it had been bored to plus 60 and the previous machine shop had broken the skirt).
Trying to get hold of a decent 750 block that is under plus 20 is like finding rock horse shite. Even if you do find one the money that people want is getting silly. The RGM liners at £33 each are a bargain. The cost of getting a block machined, liners fitted and bored/honed back to std is approximately 2.5 times a normal bore and hone job (bore/hone block to liner size, fit liners, bore/hone out to std)
