Those lifters look suspiciously like SB Chevy parts...

Gee, I'd never thought of that aspect of it - I always use a really old one-speed drill motor for this and just got good at really hustling up and down the bore to get the right angle. It does cause some problems when the stones want to come flying out at the top of the bore, but the speed is...

Interesting that the block actually has 'GENSET ENGINE' cast in it. Wouldn't want to use the wrong block by mistake I guess - must be something special about them. Are you going to go back with the orange paint? Looks like it's pretty close to Kubota orange.

^^ What he said--Lots of honing oil and then a really, really thorough wash down of the bores with clean DF2 or Kerosene to get the swarf and stone particles out. You could do worse than to have somebody run it through a spray tank afterward. If it was small enough, I'd stick it in the...

That piston looks great. Once you get the old rings off you might have to buff it a bit with fine abrasive to get the rust deposits off the tops of the ring lands. Looks completely serviceable.

You can cut an inner race off the shaft without damaging the shaft - it requires a delicate touch with a dremel tool and cutoff wheel, but it can be done. Once you get a good cut about halfway through the race you can usually pop it off with a smack at the cut with a cold chisel.

Be sure to follow factory recommendations on the grit of abrasive to use and the angle of crosshatch. You don't want to be too out of tolerance on this, as the factory ring package was probably specd in assuming a particular range of values. The way your bores look (after evaporust), I am...

I had written the 2007 engine off as a rebuild item because of the bores. Amazing how well it cleaned up. Evapo-Rust to the rescue again. Does it have any effect at all on the pistons?
