Hi All,

I'm planning on using an (existing) set of iron lined cyls. while
I save up the $$ for a set of nikasil jugs. unfortunately it looks
like a botched liner install -- there was 0 piston/cyl clearance at
the top of the bores! Matter of fact, the cyls were even a bit
undersized. There was also a bit of taper to the bores. My local
machine shoppe will ream them out, I only need to know what piston/cyl
clearances I need. Guzziology says to add .001" to the plated clearance
figures. I'll probably go with this figure.

Am I asking for trouble trying to rework these liners?
