Here's an interesting "spin" on the whole bore/hone cylinder wear question,
from _The Standard Vanguard and Ensign_ (Odhams Owner-Driver Handbooks
series, printed 1963):
"It has been mentioned that the two pairs of flats in the top flanges of the
[wet cylinder engine] liners provide alternative fitting positions so that
when piston slap develops, owing to wear of liners and pistons on the thrust
axis, it may be dealt with by turning the sleeves through 90 degrees...."
Cool.
Any Vanguard or Ensign (or Ferguson Tractor or even TR) owner try this
lately? :-)
