[SEL] Campbell pic's are up

[john palmer]

Hi Russell,Nice engine,top English workmanship.I would not Hone the bore untill you see if new rings are needed!Clean it as gently as poss,free the rings and let the rings bed in and find any original seating.I would not under any cercunstances remove the rings until you have tried them back in the bore and seen what compression you have.You might be surprised! I am probably telling my granny how to suck eggs.
