[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 90813, member: 161"] Dear Greg, Thanks for your reply, good information as usual. The cylinder spigot holes is something I will I will have to check if I am able to remove mmore material. At this stage I hope not to have to remove any more material. If it comes to that I have a friend with a bridgeport mill who can do some skimming. I used threebond and excellent though it is it didn't manage to do a complete seal. I can see that I will have to investigate further with some dry test assemblies. Bruce: I have used silicone on some poor joint faces before with good success but I am conscious of problems that may occur if silicone ends up in the wrong place and gets into the oilways. Not too much of a problem for a chaincase cover but a possible problem for crankcase or timing cover. This may well be the way to go but I also have one or two ideas I may try as well. I have finished fitting dro's to my lathe so that can now go back against the wall to create space to get the ike up on the bench and start the stripdown. Another job will be to source a large and truly flat surface plate.:oops: [/QUOTE]
