In the past I have used rods with 17% silicon content when puting in half liners & extending the gasket faces, but to be sure have a word with Langcourts in Weston Super Mare as the repair damaged alloy cylinders proir to replating.

Thanks for the reply Ian, would I need to buy a particular grade aluminium to make the packer and liner from as I was thinking of removing top of barrel above exhaust port and make wider fins with extra length for the stroke.

cheers
