Dukedesmo:
I thought a lot about your comment over night.
The cylinder barrel has definitely not moved, no paint cracking - nothing
If it has not moved then the seal should still be good between the crankcase and the barrel.
I have to balance the risk of a leak from the base of the barrel vs the risk of damaging the rings taking the barrel off and re-fitting it.
On balance I will take a chance with the barrel as it is, this view might be all buggered up if any one of the suspect studs fails when I torque down the de-coked head.
Thanks for the thought though (and in my case additional worry)
