Crankcase Boring

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a company/individual in the Greater Manchester area who can bore my stock top c/case and block to accept larger liners . Cheers Greg "H".

The guy I use (Burton Engineering) would probably do it. Not in Greater Manchester though, he's in Thornton-Cleveleys near Blackpool. Probably no help to you, but it is driveable.

If you can post a photo of what you want doing, I can call in to Burtons and see if he will do it for you and a rough price. Its only about 1/2 mile from my house so its no problem.

Have you already had the cylinders done? Usually get the man who fits and bores the big liners to do it

I spoke to the guy today and he says that he can do it . However, he doesn't work weekends ( he works 8 till 5 weekdays only) which is a problem, as there is no way I can get there during the week :(. I'll have wait till the bits come through and then take a day off  :).
