K5 To sleeve or not to sleeve?
YUNGGUNNAZ:
sometime these shops have spare cylinders on hand.they often buy cores to have a cylinder ready for quick turn around during race season.check Lukes racing,superior sleeve and lakeshore industries.

Couple of more pics closer up:
I'm really hoping they can be repaired because I want a ported and overbored top end rather then just buying a new stock cylinder which I may still have to do.
YUNGGUNNAZ:
2001kx5,theres a cylinder on ebay i was watching to get for a big bore and some r&d port work i was going to do but you need it worse than i.its .080 over and i would have it plated to either that or back to .060(they can go back that far only i'm told).let me know if you are going to bid on this.
2001KX5:
can you send me the link pls. I really appreciate that man. as long as its not sleeved.
YUNGGUNNAZ:
ok.lets try this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item
this does have a sleeve to be bored out max.i run a sleeve out to .080 and runs like h---.but all ports are matched up right with sleeve and then was plated.most problems with sleeve is the installation and care in correct matching.
