The build up never added. It looks like anodizing which is a process that does build up a surface, but this seemed to just add color to what was already there.

I knew the liner fit before and it did not affect it. That was one of my first concerns also, and went directly to fitting it when it reached room tempurature.

I would have welcomed another .001", as restoring the case and the liner did remove what should be a soft press fit. It is more of a close loose fit now, but is still full contact with no play once fully seated. I am sure once the motor is run-in and castor starts to build, it will once again be snug.

This restoration to what was a fully hardened and locked grease case has had me worried every step of the way. Repair or replacement parts are non-existant, minus bearings and screws, and the ultimate Dynamix carb of course!

This seemed to be another curve ball added to that, but honestly if the finish holds up and does not leave off in large patches with no remedy to clean the rest of the nooks and crannies, I think it is a very good color to have!

If the chlorine in the water did actually do the coloring, please remind me never to brush my teeth in boiling water[sm=surprised.gif]
