Re-sleve

<< < (2/2)

stewart:
i would not sleeve the late cylinder have max -power    replate

medicman:
Well i hope i dident make a mistake.... I had the bike resleved last week and it runs great! I should of waited a little longer and weighed my options, but i got impatient and just did what the guy at my local shop said. here is another question? once a cylinder is resleved can it be removed and re-plated?

maddoggy:
when they sleaved the cylinder they likely machined the jug to a larger diam. to accept the thickness of the sleave. the only way to get the original size back would be to have a machine shop build it back up and machine back to proper spec. then of course comes the nickasil plating. although i am not even certain that it can be done. just some thoughts, MADDOGGY.
