robert0762 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Just curious to know if i can nikasil a stock sleeve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee67 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 probably but if i were you i would do just the cylinder and skip the sleeve. the sleeve acts as a gaurd against the cylinder. honda came up with this idea to get rid of the sleeve completely so i would use it for that purpose. if you blow up then the sleeve itself could become damaged and then you would still have the same problem. so in short. i would do just the cylinder and get rid of the sleeves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanYE west Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 You can resleeve with ported cylinders. The sleeves will have to be port matched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 You can resleeve with ported cylinders. The sleeves will have to be port matched. If your going to do that you might as well run big bore sleeves too. Dont get the huge ones. I had a pair of drag ported cylinder resleeved by dan a patiot racing. He used a 66mm-68mm sleeve. People claim that big bore sleeves choke down the transer ports. My 66-68mm sleeves still had aluminum in the transfer ports, so they were not any smaller than stock sleeves.

fastquad02blaster Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Get a monoblock cylinder and have the middle machined out and run a giant oval shaped piston. Of course don't use a sleeve in that setup either. It'll be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeqc Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yes you can get a steel sleeve nikasiled. Are you 100% sure of that...????? A nikasil co. in my area told said to me: no plating on steel sleeve. we have to switch the steel sleeve for aluminium one to get it plated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
