The Hepolites are £828 inc VAT for the set plus delivery (I assume).
Bottom line is the car is apart at my specialist, so I am over a barrow. Final decision is to rebore and fit Cosworths (because that is what he does & is comfortable with), at a great cost. The crown of the pistons will be shaved to get as low a compression as possible (down to 9.75 as std and 9.5 if possible).
To fit new liners would have increased the costs even more.
At least I know it wasn't his fault when the engine was rebuilt. I wouldn't have expected him to measure the cylinders mid length when there wasn't any sign of wear top or bottom.
