Good morning David. I would be interested to know what you did about the worn bores in that engine.

NOT a Bristol... but I have found on more than one engine the previous owner had replaced the pistons with new STD but failed to attend to badly worn bores. I found it cheaper to install new liners and bore out to take the pistons. In the worst case the engine would start and tick over but lacked power. The guy had even tried to hide this by removing the clutch pedal and so prevent the car from being test driven!
