Rage_kage Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 I finally got around to pulling the top end off my banshee I bought this summer, hasn't had a top end since it rolled off the showroom floor in 98, but that's beside the point. I'm guessing it sat a while because the cylinders have distinct witness marks of where the rings sat on the cylinder if you look in the intake and exhaust it looks like the sleeve got pulled up a little bit. Can I get the jugs ported and bypass having a new sleeve pressed in it or does it need resleeved? Quote

trickedcarbine Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 ^ that. You can at least get it all cleaned up and bored/honed. Weld the crank and get fresh bearings for the outer ends. With the head off, run your nail accross the sealing surface of the cylinder where the sleeve meets the aluminum. Quote
Rage_kage Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 I'm taking them into work tommrow and cleaning them up I'll post some pictures later Quote
Rage_kage Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Posted October 7, 2014 Its kinda hard to see but I took a straight edge across the top and didn't see any protrusion of the sleeve. I even went the extra mile and took a cylinder depth gauge we use on setting liners on trucks and I seen maybe like .001 of protrusion Quote
Starwriter Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 The stock sleeves are cast into the cylinder. There is no way for them to move. To replace the sleeves, they are bored out and new sleeves pressed in. Quote
Rage_kage Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Posted October 7, 2014 So its just a casting flaw Quote
