Sleeve press near reading

No flat's on the 550 bryan, maybe you are thinking about the 400  ;)

I have probably got some barrels in need of a rebore or a good hone but not needing the sleeves moving across from one to another, if the damage on yours merits replacement. One less process to go through. Not 100% sure what bits I have where. Kids and house renovation put bikes on the back burner and then career change and job loss kept them there. I'm now clearing out the clutter so tons of bits have headed onto Ebay ( no cb500 or 550 stuff going that way, I want to get mine going)  but I am pretty sure cb550 barrels are something I can spare. There may even be a set with good pistons - hard to recall - I did have quite a stockpile as I bought up a fair few lots on Ebay etc over the years I was commuting on them.
First get pictures of yours up, they may be ok to use.... fingers crossed yours are ok.

So managed to grab a quick pic so you can see what I'm talking about. I'm also just in the process of splitting the cases which seem to be fine on at the front but hanging up at the back in other places the little dowels have been rusted solid so I'm assuming something similar going on here.

I would get that liner checked with a bore gauge as the inner still looks circular in the photo.

Yeah I will get that checked and think you're right but would the dent at the bottom cause any problems/ interference?

Cheers
