banshee_phil Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 there is a gap between the sleeve and jug... Quote
Rodneya Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Can you post a picture through the intake side. Quote
banshee_phil Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 sure...here are 3 more Quote
banshee_phil Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 here are the two together...stock on left side, re-sleeved one on right side. notice how in all the pics you can see the sleeve in the ports...they didnt trim it enough??? Quote
Duneman101 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 that will definetly run different from the stock cylinder with all that sleeve hang over... you shouldn't have a gap between the bottom of the cylinder and the sleeve either... Quote
banshee_phil Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 that will definetly run different from the stock cylinder with all that sleeve hang over... you shouldn't have a gap between the bottom of the cylinder and the sleeve either... yeah i know...they didnt trim enough off the sleeve for the ports. i called them back today and they want me to ship the cylinder back (i recently moved from there) and they will epoxy (im guessing JB weld) the gap at the bottom of the cylinder. before i mail it back, i am going to take it to a local shop and see what they say. i am also going to look up used cylinders on ebay and see what they cost. and then i think i will just have the machine shop buy me a used one off ebay and i will send them the one that they screwed up and they can have a nice new paper weight. this is so rediculous...4 weeks later and the bike still isnt back together yet...shoulda just bought another running bike for that price!

AKheathen Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 wtf? they cut the sleve themselfs? that's not right. and they can't just fill the problem areas. i would not let them touch it again, except to exchange for a new cyl. Quote
jbooker82 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Yea you shouldnt be able to see daylight inbetween the cylinder and sleeve through the intake ports. Quote
dajogejr Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 I would demand your money back AND let them pay for a set of used cylinders. That's absolute crap work. And you don't want epoxy between the sleeve and the cylinder, period. They bore the cylinder out, heat it up and then install the sleeve. When the outer cools back down it clamps onto the sleeve, there should be no gaps. They actually press the new sleeve in even though the cylinder is heated up....that is a crap job there. Quote
