<< When I was at the Manchester show, one of the professional rebuilders that
was there said that trying to rebuild a TR4 engine was impossible because the
piston/liner sets that are available from all the sources are badly flawed.
Something about the metal being forged at the wrong temperature or something.
I don't know whether he was trying to sell me on his secret rebuild service or
whether there is any substance to this story.
 
 Anybody heard anything like this.  Are there bad sets and good sets.  I would
like to use the 87mm sets if possible but quality is paramount.

I've heard something about wrong lengths/wrong figure 8 gaskets. But not this.
