jamesinc Yes, we may be in want of your parts washer this Saturday. I actually think I might drop the head off at Thornleigh Cylinder Heads for a hot tank and decking.

jamesinc GPI Automotive Paint Stripper. http://www.smashsupplies.com.au/shop/GPI-Paint-Stripper-4lt.html The parts cleaner at Thornleigh Cylinder Heads smells strongly of this stuff, so I suspect if you fill a vat with it you can use it over and over to clean stuff.
jamesinc Cylinder 1 looks like a Cadbury Aero bar. It's pockmarked the most in the middle, and it reduces as you go toward the edge of the piston face. I think it'll be fine to be honest. All four bores retain fuel so the rings are okay at least. Out of curiousity, does anyone have a B23 "E" size piston?
