There is way to much info missing from your initial post, why don't you put the full story in there instead of playing forum games? It's like playing hangman or fecking Cluedo.
Who damaged the liners?
If you reface them they will be shorter, is it not the case that they will then not fit?

I called rob, he asked me what the problem was, I said darton and he cut me off and said he couldn't do it. Didn't even discuss what the problem was. He then asked what car and I said Porsche and he said he didn't work on Porsche! Yet his site lists Porsche work. Very odd. Went on to say how busy he was etc..
I'm not surprised, he said the same thing to me about being to busy. I'd questioned why he'd wanted to charge me 3 times the amount listed on his web site for balancing a v6 crankshaft and he got all befuddled despite having done one for me last year. I took it elsewhere.

If you know how much you want removing then I'm sure any precision engineering firm could do it.

Steady on old chap! I only asked for recommendations from a machine shop to carry out a task. To be honest it's just a last ditch effort to recover what had been a lost cause so far.

I got one, it didn't work out, so i feel all the better for trying.

I bought them from the states and after much grief have been unable to get a replacement.

Much to my disappointment and annoyance, I have now purchased replacements so I guess it's case closed.

Sorry to bother you all, as you were.

That sounds like Rob!! haha

Sadly he is very busy because he is very good and i think would wind back a little.

Some muppet banned him for calling a spade a spade. Admin clearly dont like sense and truth being spoken in a technical forum.

Sounds about right, ban the most knowledgeable and experienced member on a technical forum!

Wtf now? I know puma can be a bit harsh, but is also one of the most useful posters on the whole site.

Not for much longer it seems with people this petty running it.
