Hi all, the first 4 pictures are of the original cylinder that came fitted to my 59 Tv175. You may notice that it has been bored out to suit the 65mm pistons that were available as a '200' conversion way back. (i have a couple of oversizes knocking about). Dont panic,the pictures were taken pre cleaning!. As i have a tidy Tv crankshaft assembly, already enlarged cylinder head,and the next oversize piston standing idle,i thought i would put together a spare Tv 175/200 engine for something to do (while im awaiting parts for my knackered RT195 to arrive).
Well it is Frday the 13th........i knocked the Tv cylinder off the work bench and put a dent in the cylinder skirt (see pictures)....Can this be repaired without too much expense or am i going to have to go to plan 'B' (see below)

PLAN 'B' is the use of the cylinder below which i believe is a 'Motoristica Milano' pattern item to suit a Tv175 series 3 as the transfer ports are larger!
