   Yes , and it did a great job . When my 1939 Harley cylinders come home   
   with their new valves/guides I'll be doing the rough bore with my home   
   made micrometer boring head ... The last "big" boring job was a cylinder   
   block for an ATV . Bored the cast-in sleeves out and installed bigger   
   bore sleeves . Patrick says it runs like a raped ape and he hasn't even   
   mounted the blower yet .
