Boring Lister engine cylinder

| 329 forum posts 193 photos | Yesterday my friend Dave came to see me and we bored out the cylinder of his 1930 Lister "D" type petrol engine, He had aquired a 0.040" oversize piston, so we bored it to fit that, Original bore size was 3". We used my TOS FA3A mill , with a carbide tipped boring head, This is the second one we have bored out, the first one was bored and a liner pressed in with a Churchill hydraulic press, and used the original standard sized piston.
Honing the cylinder,

| 1 forum posts | Hi. I am about to bore my D out to fit a sleeve. Could you advise what you took it out to for the sleeve fitting ? I saw a cut away one once and the water jacket looked awfully close. I have a cast iron turned sleeve that I can finish to the desired size and then finish bore once fitted.
Thanks
