They look very similar to the ones I bought from Bruce Engineering many years ago. Those worked very well on the couple of occasions I have used them.

I also bought a set from Bruce eng. that look the same, worked a treat on a hit & miss engine that I made with a CI cylinder.

Looks a lot like the Sealey one except that comes in a kit with other sizes of holder and stones.

It's OK for occasional use, and I daresay it'll do what you want, although you need to be careful about bore diameter, I imagine.

BTW, don't run it anticlockwise, it unscrews and bits go all over the workshop :-(

I had the same problem - but boring very slowly with a sharp HSS tool produced a really good finish. My engine (Nemett 15S) was 25mm bore in a cast iron liner.

The other problem I had was I could not get the valves to seal and tried all ways to get a good seal. In the end I put the thing together, wound it up and after it fired a couple of times the compression improved, then it started and the valves sealed...

Thanks for all of the replies on this query.

In the end I took it to the back street shop that reground the crank on my TR3A over 40 years ago. Barrel now honed for £5
