Barrett did my engine in 2008 (SB569A). They did a superb job. Original cylinders were left on; rehoned. Last week the compressions were all 79/80, with one being 78/80. Can't get better than that.

My recollection is that on an overhaul they always use brand new Lyco cylinders, never repair old ones.

I am now at 1000hrs. When I get to OH I will send the motor to them to do, by DHL both ways (£3000 at today's prices) and it will be worth every penny, IMHO
