GT550 bore measuring

Post by gladders »

Hi all,
Want to check the bore size on my lad Tom's GT550 import to see if it needs a re-bore, anywhere in Yorkshire area I can get it done?
Cheers

Pop the barrels & pistons to my house and I'll have a look. Wombwell near Barnsley - or try Richard (itsnotateapot) in Darnall. Pm for details etc.

He has cars that run on alternative (cheaper) fuel too, he tells me :roll: ;)
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
