Reading about Mexican blocks: despite what some have said of them, they're no stronger in construction than US ones, probably stemming from their use in a lot of trucks... and the assumption made that they're somehow a heavy-duty casting. The iron is apparently not as wear-resistant, meaning bores wear out more quickly. Re: Boss blocks. They were essentially a tunnel-port block with 4V Clevo heads. Forged crank, 3/8" big-end bolts, The tunnel-port was a sad episode in engine failures. The ports were so extreme, that the motor had to scream upwards of 8500 rpm to make the numbers. The port runners were circular and so big that the corresponding pushrod had to go down the centre of it, running through a tube pressed into the head. Sort of like like the port entry from a red motor, albeit round, not rectangular. Sent from my CPH1607 using Tapatalk

All good the seat mechanism that rocks the whole seat back was beyond repair. Nothing a little spot weld could not fix

Yep, this ^ ^ ^.

Why is the housing getting honed out its only there really to hold the seal in place, the piston is what u need to be looking at to see it has any marks Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The handbrake cam tunnel, can be stainless steel sleeved, if it's badly pitted. Same as you can do, for brake master cylinders.

good to hear you have tried, the calipers will also be on 1987 XFs also i am fairly sure all 1987 got rear discs(well, every car i got/wrecked had them..) (i don't have any parts anymore)

Hi sparky Dave the cylinder is pitted and can’t be honed out without taking too much material. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
