K5 To sleeve or not to sleeve?

Oh, I'd replace that cylinder, unless you can have someone CMM it, make sure it hasn't collapsed, or fishmouthed. I'm having mine replated, not any cracking like that, mines more like Doordies pics.

Well Eric Gorr will evaluate the cracks and I'll go from there. But I'm leaning towards a new cylinder any way.  As for the bottom end, I will be having that tore apart as well to check bearings and seals.

r1ray:
Is this a common problem with the 5?

Timbowe:
Only if unmaintained or miss treated.  :x

r1ray:
Glad to know. I was entertaining the thought of selling my 250 for a 500.
