When should I replace my cylinder sleeves?
If any crack, fretting or scoring is detected, the cylinder must be replaced with a new one. If this is not the case, continue looking for cavitation erosion on the liner. Erosion results from poor cooling system maintenance. If uncorrected, it will eventually make holes through the cylinder liner.
Do diesel engines have cylinder sleeves?
Major Components of a Diesel Engine provide examples of sleeved diesel engines. With either method, the cylinder sleeve or bore provides the engine with the cylindrical structure needed to confine the combustion gasses and to act as a guide for the engine’s pistons.
Does sleeving a block make it stronger?
Thicker walls have more strength and thus handle higher cylinder pressures. Since there are no such options for most other platforms, sleeving the block with high-strength iron or steel sleeves are required when performance levels exceed the power handling capacity of the factory cast-iron cylinders.
What is the difference between wet and dry sleeves?
Simply put, a dry sleeve does not contact the coolant. Rather, it is installed into the wall of the cooling jacket in the cylinder block. By contrast, in a wet sleeve coolant comes in direct contact with the sleeve. Wet sleeves often have a cooling water gap between the engine block and liner.
How long does it take to sleeve a cylinder?
Generally, this service takes about 10-14 days turn around time. Check the ” Re-Sleeve Your Cylinder ” area in the Tech section for shipping procedures (download the Cylinder Department – Job Order Form).
What do you call to a device for atomizing diesel fuel and spraying it into a cylinder?
Injectors. The injector is a device to deliver fuel intermittently into the engine cylinder at times that are synchronized with the engine camshaft position. The injector needle in an injector acts as a valve to open or close the passage to the injector hole(s).
Why do diesel engines have sleeves?
The primary reason for sleeving an engine to either repair a cylinder bore or protect it from damage in the first place. Sleeves can also be used to restore a particular bore size if a cylinder has to be “bored out” to repair a cracked or otherwise damaged engine.
Can you sleeve just one cylinder?
Yes, you can re-sleeve just 1 cylinder. Just make sure you take it to a good machinist.

What is the strongest engine block material?
In simplest terms, cast-iron is a stronger material with a harder surface that is more resistant to wear. This allows cast-iron blocks to have the cylinder walls integrated as parts of the block itself. On the downside, cast-iron blocks are heavier.
