Re-Sleeving An Engine Cylinder With a Modern Approach
Since many
years, businessmen are proud to being able to repair and restore something in
working condition. Re-sleeving an engine is a way to repair and restore engine
cylinder sleeve /bore that enables the system to start operation again.
We can provide you several
reasons to restore or re-sleeve an engine. There are times when engine are kept
outside in the open. However, it is never a good idea to store an engine as the
surface may react with air and cause rusting; which is an enemy of the engine.
If you are living in coastal area or near beach, it can be little tough for you
to prevent rusting in the engine because of humidity level. But if you are in
dessert area, your engine is still safe and protected against humidity.
Cars are generally
left to sit once they have a blown head gasket that can damage the cylinder
regardless if you have used antifreeze. And experts noted that rust never
sleeps.
Another reason behind requirement of re-sleeving is the
cracking. Aluminium cylinders are at high risk of cracking as compared to CI blocks. There are several causes behind cracking of
the cylinder. Sometimes the reason can be hydraulic locking with gas or
coolant. This moment, either cylinder is going to yield or the rod connected to
it is going to bend. However, replacing a few of these aluminium blocks can be
expensive yet worth saving.
Loosening of
piston pins is another rare reason. When pin locks are installed by you
incorrectly, it causes damage to the cylinder. At the end, you need to repair
the sleeve of cylinder.
Thermal cracks or
freeze cracks are next possible reasons for a damaged sleeve. Freezing can
damage engine when you have not used sufficient antifreeze.
These reasons are valid and experts have checked the engine cylinder
sleeves performance under extreme conditions to ensure
efficient working of sleeves. If they find anything weird or any such symptom,
they re-sleeve the cylinder and bring back the engine in operational condition.
