Latest update.....

The liners are standard top and bottom but between 3 & 5 thou out in the middle with signs of the original honing along the surface. My guess is that they have done less than 10,000 miles since installation. Don't suppose I can return them to Bristol's now!

The recommendation is to replace but my worry is why should they have bowed. Is it due to a lack of support in the block?

Also, should the split skirt pistons be replaced with solid or slipper pistons or used with the new liner?

Things are not looking good...
