I had to dismantle a "Race" engine that has been sitting unfired for a long time.
Fellow who built it made some mistakes I will be correcting.
Of course the valves were not relieved and a little bit of condensation got into one cylinder.
Not "Rusty" but there are scattered brown specs.
I want to run a ball hone through the cylinder and inspect it again before going to the expense of having the cylinder sleeved.
Engine has an unfired set of NLA forged pistons I want to keep.
Current finish is what I would call very fine.
Found ball hones available at reasonable cost but unsure which grit to buy.
