Who was the specialist that performed the PPI? It would be beneficial to the balance of this thread to have their interpretation of the images.
nigel99 said:Thanks Baz. I'm a bit too thick to understand a lot of the technical aspects to bore scoring and other issues, but I appreciate that you're always on hand to offer your view and expert opinion. You're a credit to this site. Thank you.

Apologies you are correct, the invoice states:
"Carry out repair to bare crankcase
Replace cylinder 4/5/6 and machine cylinder to piston
Check roundness of cylinders 1/2/3 and install top brace
check existing pistons and match to new"
3 new OEM pistons are listed in the bill.
I believe the guy has part ex'd the car against an M5 so no doubt it will make its way back into the system....
It may be helpful to edit your original post as some may take your opening post and run in the wrong direction with it.

They do seem to be a very honest company to deal with and their work must be second to none.
