How good is this machine shop? I'm a little worried that they don't know
what oversize to go to.
You measure all the bores and find the biggest one, then go to the closest
oversize. 1 or my bores was .008 over, so I could either go with .010 or
.020" Better make sure you can get the pistons BEFORE he bores anything
out.
If he's any good, he should be able to find guides for it. Mine did, they
were from another vehicle, but he was able to machine them to fit.
I ordered some of my parts from RPI. They have Vandervell (sp?) bearings
Have you tried Rover's North for the other parts?
