Setting up my bridgeport
I just can bore the whole length with a minor mod from the quil.
Normal just can travel 127 mm , which is exact the depth i need, but i removed a ring and now i can do 135 mm.
Will do an 1 mm oversize, have the pistons and rings already.
the bearing surfaces on the crank looks ok, just replace all new bearings.
The camshaft bearings need replacement, will do that as well.
Have new valves, waiting for a seat cutter.
Just a total overhaul.
Halfway for the 1 mm oversize.
Getting the rotation and feed speed on the correct settings…
Learning by doing…
still 20 tou to go… ( 0.5 mm)
Are the bores hardened on these K-type engines?
It looks like a fairly aggressive stone was used to hone. Will you now use chrome rings?

Hi Rindert,
I think was not smooth reboring on my bridgeport, the honing stones went from new to gone…
Just will be installed with good new rings, run it, observed it and learn where I did wrong…
I might have some good understanding on how it should be / could be done, does not mean I can do …
But I want to learn from making my own mistakes …
Hi Koen, i think this will work good. For a “super” engine, run it some time, a month?, using simple motor oil, then do a ring change, and change to good oil.
Or, just, let it “wear in” smoothly on simple motor oil, 10 hours some, the use good motor oil, do oil changes often in the beginning.
Just my simple theories (how i would do 
)
