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,
Advert

Nice work there Richard. How handy to have that sort of heavy artillery in the shed when its needed for these bigger jobs.

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
