The problems never end

[Ivor Hawkins]

I rebuilt a three bearing motor and the bores were pitted, I carefully honed the bores and the pits were still clearly visible from the top to the bottom of every bore, the car went very well, the exhaust was clean and it burnt very little oil.

As the gouges are well below where the rings work their hardest, I’d be tempted to check the gudgeon pin and rings, pop the piston back in and run it.
