This is how I used to measure bore wear........

You found an even more handy "gadget hands" than tunnie.

Somewhere in the murky regions of my memory is a little snippet about the old Triumph Herald engine, which had a De Saxe construction and as I undertand it, the crankshaft was offset slightly in some way such that the maximum wear point did not occur at the top of the stroke, thereby creating the usual ridge, but fairly evenly distributed along the whole bore, meaning such engine re-conditioning as the noble bear was asking about is required at longer intervals.
That answer was off-the-cuff and without recourse to Google, so I may be a little light on detail and/or accuracy - OOF experts will put me right in due course!

P.S. Hijacking this thread, can any mobile gentlemen fit a starter motor with the car (2.6 V6) in  situ on my drive?
