Appears from your picture in C31 and your picture in C78 that C31 was just a quick hone swipe to give you a visualization and justify what repair shop was telling you was needed. Sounds like a upfront guy and appears he did a good job on the finial finish.

I couldn't have said it better myself! THAT's what I was trying to say, but didn't know how to say it!

Thanks for the clarification!

I use spray on gasket remover, and sharpen an old credit card to use as a scraper, it won't gouge the gasket surfaces on the case.
