aptec best place harry had some done nice finish plus ported at the same time.

aptec seem some work done on ts1 barrel harry had done.ported at the same time

Well gents, thank you for all the replies. Here's an update of what I'm doing.

The barrel and head are being sent to Harry Barlow, the Nikasil will be removed and replaced with Ceramic, the ports will also have some work done as some of the original porting design is slightly flawed. A new modified piston/rings supplied by Harry and then I get the joy of running it all in again.....

He tells me the ceramic barrels are almost bomb-proof, so here's hoping it runs a bit longer than the original set-up. He seems a very straight-up bloke too, so I've every confidence.

Not cheap, but when ever is running a Lambretta cheap?....

I have had several ceramic barrels and never had a problem related to bore.

I've never had a problem related to being boring.

I beg to differ
