I have lots of old liners in boxes. My machinist rejected them because
they immediately being to rust from the outside in when freshly
machined. He basically says that the rust spiderwebs through from the
outside and in use that would affect ring wear.

The liners I was talking about are Ken Gillanders 87mm racing liners, at
$101 each.

Exchange? You are thinking of boring 40 year old liners?
I just reread your original post. By "remanufactured liners", I thought
you meant you were making new. Now I see you are talking about reboring
used liners. Now we are on the same page...
Isn't the stock liner rather thin in the middle for racing purposes?
