Well I'm back to the pair of 288's. I got the transfer off off the plating in the second saw, but think I got a little to happy with the Emory cloth around the ports. Think I should have started with a more aggressive grit, would have worked fast and I wouldn't have "sat" as long around the port..... oh well. This cylinder was a long shot to start with. I'm not a big fan of the last guys idea of a port job.
What do you guys think if I run it? How do you think the plating will hold up? I don't care about the cylinder, but it needs new piston. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on this top end but would like to see it run and maybe learn a few things about the last porters ideas of what it should be. Not sure if I want to buy a meteor just to have it ruined in the bore. Or end up having a bad cylinder from the start as new cylinder already come with pistons.....
If anyone had an ok use piston for cheap I might be interested.
