[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 90752, member: 3426"] I just removed a liner from a muff. I put it in the oven at 395F or so for 1/2 hr. Waited for the thud, but it never happened. Took it out of the oven and whacked it on the wood bench. Still no go. Had to put it in the press to get it out. Didn't take a whole bunch of pressure, but it was definitely a snug fit. The muff is missing fins, so its going to be shaved down to use in the lathe for holding a cylinder assembly for boring. At least that's the plan at this point. Regarding your comment Bruce... I'll take thin cuts with the boring bar and take my time with the hone. The cylinder that I am boring if for the Comet and it is a very snug fit in the cases, so when finished, I'll have to remember to warm the engine up before I thrash it. I should install the cylinder and remeasure the bore to see what if any difference the snug cases make. (it seems like the upper case studs will need to be backed off to get the cylinder home, so the liner may get distorted) [/QUOTE]
