CYLINDER BORE WEAR.

Can we hand 24 G.VI over for a transport
car as we want to get figures for cylinder bore wear on
it under short journey conditions?

If you have to get another cheap transport
car would you consider a 25 H.P. Vauxhall, we want to get
a true figure for their cylinder bore wear. If it is as
Taub says we don't need liners.
