**** Mark (MG Classics) has refaced lifters!

 I may just take the whole darn thing apart,don't think I could
ever trust it now.

**** Clean up the block & oil passages. You'd hate to have old
sludge/chrome mess with the new parts.
Clean the outside of the block with Mothers Mag Wheel Cleaner #2 for
rough surface mags. It's a liquid, spray it on, scrub it in, wash it
off....repeat 10-20 times, looks like new afterwards.

Treat the block with Sodium Silicate(Find at a chemical store).
Brush it on, wash it off, heat in an oven at 275 for 30 minutes.
(my block just fit even with the head studs) Best done when wife is at
work
