It would have been very wise to have "broke the glaze" on the cylinder walls by honing them prior to the installation of the pistons. I have seen this on numerous cases in the past where people didn't, and the piston rings never did seat/seal. The best way I can think to describe this is kind of like applying a fresh coat of paint on to an unprepared surface ... the fresh coat of paint very seldom sticks very well if it sticks at all. There is probably a short cut to remedy this problem short of removing the pistons from the cylinders and honing them out. But I don't know what that would be. Good luck with this query, and if there is a short cut solution to correcting this fault I would sure like to hear it also. I will be leaving the UK in the upcoming months (December or possibly sooner) going back to the states. If there's anyone in Easten New Mexico or the Texas Panhandle needing a hand with restorations, repairs, or maybe a part time extra farmhand or mechanic let me know. I will (hopefully) have a little free time on my hands occasionally and wouldn't mind doing some helping out if someone needs it. later days mates, Jim in UK
