[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 168600, member: 21529"] One supposition doesn’t totally equal the other. On a really shagged engine (& I mean a sleeved engine because a plated barrel will be through to ally) there will be a nasty lip there. This is where the rings are really working, remember they are changing direction while being pressed heavily against the bore by the gas they are compressing. Needless to say if there is a decent lip it’s ‘brown bread’. However there may be an unusual amount of carbon build up or piston residue from detonation so take that into account. Really this is a method that will tell you is it is totally kuzed, or acceptable for a playbike. If it’s your pride & joy racebike, take the time to find someone clued up to measure it. If they boast they were to shop classmates with Eric Gorr, ask to check their posterior for boot imprints. Thanks! that story brightened up my morning no end. [/QUOTE]
