Lisle/Sunnen Hone

Im starting the ol 2.0 tomorrow with its 1972 head on top and a fresh hone on those old cylinders. I bit the bullet and pulled the 80mm pistons out the top with the motor still in the frame. Checked the bores and they were still parallel, pistons looked good but the walls looked glazed, probably the reason for the blow by so I put a cross hatch hone back on them, took the lightest touch with the 3 leg springer hone and set them back in. The 1.8 head has square exhaust ports instead of my 2.0s round ports so the damn exhaust manifold would not seal over the square so I fashioned a port plate of 2mm AL to fill the overlap of the round manifold and used Super read RTV (highest heat 750F rated). The 1.8 rebuild is back on the back burner but rescuing this block is still gonna need some serious help, ie some sort of filler metal in the pit or a sleeve. Then Ill have to cut a new keyway in the cam gear to compensate for the 1.7mm head face the machine shop took, retarding the cam timing. Seems like alot of work to rebuild a smaller motor...? @Charrlie_S Thanks for the offer. I still may take you up on it but not today.
