Can a sleeving block be repaired only one cylinder?
Something else to keep in mind is that if you are sleeving only one damaged cylinder in a block to repair it, the sleeve may distort the adjacent cylinders somewhat – especially if you use a lot of interference fit. The result may be ring sealing problems, compression losses and blowby in the adjacent cylinders.
What’s the best way to install a cylinder sleeve?
One tip for make sleeve installation easier while improving heat transfer is to lightly hone the cylinder with #280 grit stones after it has been bored out to accept the sleeve. A smoother finish inside the bore will improve metal-to-metal contact between the sleeve and block when the sleeve is slid into place.
Can a cylinder sleeve be used to increase displacement?
For high performance applications, sleeves also offer a number of advantages. The displacement of an engine block is limited by the distance between the bore centers and the thickness of the casting. If the block is a heavy wall casting, you can increase the engine’s displacement by boring the cylinders to oversize and/or using a stroker crank.
Why are cylinder sleeves bad for aluminum blocks?
Another said .0015˝ to .003˝ of interference fit is all you need with most aluminum blocks, and if you go much beyond .004˝ you will probably distort the block. Bore distortion is bad because it prevents the hole from being round when you hone it.
