    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    What kind of reamer did you use, if you don't mind my asking?

    I had read previously on this site that it was advantageous to open up the LGU underlever transfer port but I was not aware the same applied to the LGV. Could you cast further light on this and the reasons behind it?

    I also understood that the LGV was designed to perform at about 11.2 ft/lbs from new. Is this not the case?

    I would like to see the Tyler article. Where can this be viewed?

    It is all explained in the articles (see references above). I think Nick opened up the port of my LGU to !/8th when he tuned it, but it was as part of a radical modification (skirtless piston). I don't know what it would do for one in standard form.

    I bought a new 3mm reamer on the bay, but it was too short to reach the port when in a tap wrench. Luckily I was able to borrow a 3mm machine reamer from an engineer friend, and that was long enough to use in my tap wrench.
