They-- Bradley, Hallows, Westbury, Chaddock, Tubal Cain, Thomas, Martin Cleeve were like Shakespeare's contemporaries-- 'A Nest of Singing Birds' May not translate- but we are now the losers. There is little left of their contribution today- and we are the poorer.
Arnak:
Hi Folks,
Has anyone tried valve grinding past in cast iron bores, does that work?
It is easily available in coarse medium and fine in small tubs.

Fergus OMore:
Ask anyone who has ground in a set of valves on a cast iron head of a motor car or motor cycle their views.
Ask anyone who has re-bored a single cylinder or a twin or four or six.
The answers will vary from one operator to another.
There IS a wealth of corrspondence on the net about various professional boring tools for vehicles.
There is even the story of having to pack one of the first steam locomotive cylinders - with the foreman's felt hat.
I've always wondered whether my great grandfather was involved :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
