Joe,

I at first thought I would reline with steel if I couldn't find the CI. When I mentioned that to my engine re-builder (for the 461) he told me not to do it because steel has a different friction coefficient and would not work like CI. I haven't explored that any further so don't know how true that is but until I do I will stick with CI. If I can't find any at a decent price maybe I should explore the steel angle further.

He may have said cast steel, but who know that was about 10 or so years ago.
I'm doing good to remember what happened yesterday .

Joe,

What happened yesterday, oh well, what ever it was it must not have been important.
