Took the head off my 3.0 today ready to fit my shiny new one tomorrow..
It's been sitting for a while and seems the no.2 and 3 cylinders have got some corrosion in them. Most is surface rust but there is a pit that would seem to match the piston rings going around both bores about 3" from the top of the cylinder.
Is it possible to hone the cylinder, fit new rings and be ok or do I need to look for a new block ?
In the pics I've given one a sand over to remove all the surface grot, the other is as found.
Cheers,
Rob.
