- By the way.... if you have a scratched and/or worn piston liner, and
- the replacement is expensive, try getting it "chromed". I'm not sure
- what current chroming costs are but it used to be $15 in 84 or so, so
- I'd guess $30. Anyone know Bob Oge's phone number? I've been to his
- workshop and there were all of these unhoned, chromed Mark VI liners
- sitting on the bench... he'll even make you piston/liner sets (at least
- he has the tools to do it).
-
- I imagine this'll save you big bucks if you are into Pattern..
