Unless Hepolite made some?

AE Pistons Hepolite made +0.020"

Best of luck finding one of them now.

I have standard AE Heps, the most ragged one is the donor for the dicking about re the BoganGull.

If you have a Hep, best place to start mod piston wise aye? If you have one, just take time to measure and compare to Gull Basic item.

They are SO COOL!

Hylomar, what about hylomar?

You have a 10 thou oversize in your olympic, they machined a 10 over for the reconditioning dept, but never had to use them as the bores never needed reboring & it was cheaper to dump the cylnder if it was too bad, it's belived that all the + 10s were sent your direction for them.

Seagull had several people casting their pistons, Hepolite, some firm in India & some from Italy, Asso?

I can't remember where I put the notes as it was 6 or 7 years ago that Charles & I were researching that.

Stelios,

I use hylomar all the time. I've never had a problem. I

Yes, I have seen that you use it and searched to see the properties of this product. Looked promising so since my brother was in UK for Easter vacations I asked him to bring me a tube. After I tried it, I use it all the time. The great advantage comparing to RTV is that you don't have to wait to cure. For RTV I have to wait 24hours to see what I have done.

In addition I like teasing a little bit C-I about RTV etc

Hylomar in a spray can is totally
Very clean and works 10/10!

PS: I will now, after all the promises, pull down an Olympic power head and have a look Charles.

It must be even better in spray as it will an even layer!
I also love your hammer. I have a flat one, I will search for one like yours. Should cuts gasket really nice.
