I haven't watched Uncle Tony in awhile, although I may have seen the beginnings of that Miata conversion
For what its worth thats were the words hot rodding came from, doing exactly what this guy Tony does
I also will say as far as 10 over with a cylinder hone, I have no idea about ring sizes or what Tony was trying to do nor did I see that episode but ten over means taking off 5 thousandths, a fact that just may be lost on some and taking off 5 thousandths is certainly doable with a hone
Checking for cylinder taper with a feeler gage and a old ring? Yes ive seen it done and taking your time and being accurate how else did you think it was done 50 years ago in a backyard garage.....Who had a dial taper gage or even snap gauges and a set of mikes that size?
What ive seen on this Uncle Tony is old school hot rodding on a budget, reminds me of when I had three hand carry tool boxes, loaded with tools I had to carry out of the basement every time I went to fool on my car, when the sky was my roof and a old rug was what I had to lay on
