Opening 1052 cases for 1127 barrels

[spiderpig]

Anyone done it themselves? I think dabubster did iirc. 

 

I've to spilt the cases to clean after getting out wankered oil return tubes and spare barrels/pistons lying around.

 

Prefer to give it a go, if its going to machine shop I'd sooner just bore out the 1052 barrels.

I feel your pain: when corroded those tubes definitely don't want to shift without a fight .

I've done it with a Dremel. No big deal.

Quite a lot of people have done this by hand in the past

Correct, with a die grinder, and a grinding stone and flap wheel (on the diegrinder) 

Make base gasket fit the cylinders, and then use that gasket as a template.

It's a bit of work..
