I have a working 394 cyl that needs a little off the top. Got a price set yet?
sorry if I'm posting so much on your thread Will, but it's rather enjoyable for me. for the record, HE DID AWESOME (I'd rather my employer didn't see this thread)
Great
The price on metal lathes just went up everywhere.
You know at least five people reading this are checking CL right now for a deal.

No, CL no good to me, but I did have a look on Ebay.
no worries about machine work, you've got more than one good buddy here that'll fix you up.
Don't be afraid to use a little WD40 or Tap Magic when your cutting.I'm not boring the cylinder. I'm machining the base down to decrease the squish. Here is a short vid I did today.
Don't know. Not even sure how to set that up.
You'll need a boring bar

I've cut the combustion chamber before by taking 80 grit sticky back sand paper. You take an old piston that corresponds with the bore, stick the piston crown on the sand paper, trace it out with a knife, trim the edges up so you do mess up the plating. Take a screwdriver to fit in between the piston bosses so you can turn it.

Ya, but he could buy a lathe for what shipping would cost back and fourth a few times from where he lives.
Plenty good people alright Nik.
As I buy a cyl from Bailey's Will.
B200 is spot on though, as it got me lookin.
One of the many tools I've been thinking about without going any further than that.
I've thought about a lathe for years. Finally got one.
Yeah I know...............how do think that makes us feel?
ha ha. sorry. Well just have Baileys ship your next cylinder over here first.
