  • There are a few different sleeve types when it comes to repairing a block or setting up your engine for additional horsepower. Steve Morris of Steve Morris Engines discusses the different options and what he likes to do in his engine builds. This is Part 1 of a two-part video.

    Thank you for this video. I have never rebuilt an engine in my life. That said, I pulled the engine from my Mercedes-Benz 560SL a couple of weeks ago and yesterday I finally removed the heads. That’s when I found deep scoring in one of the cylinders (car sitting 14 years). Not knowing what I was doing I panicked because of the scoring. But then I remembered that in the 70’s they put sleeves in VW’s so I started searching and found your video. I found they have sleeves for my 560SL! I have been documenting the entire car rebuild on my CZcams channel. Thanks again.

    This video is a light bulb moment i had a friend press in some sleeves and we couldn't figure out why the pistons wouldn't fit the bore anymore i was of the option that the block didn't need honing for dry pressing sleeve ..this a good one

    Great video! Great information! As a machine shop owner please don't tell people to pound in repair sleeves with a sledge hammer! I made a fixture to pull the sleeves in place on a V8 and it also works for inline blocks as well.

    I will be getting flanged sleeves on my 3.6 pentastar. I would think it is similar to that wet sleeve. Nice video
    Edit: I will still have water cooling from block to head.

    Aluminum vs. other materials like cast iron have different thermal expansion rates. That .002" press fit would disappear pretty quick. Can the round sleeves actually rotate in the block when running?

  • @paterson022
    @paterson022 Před 2 lety +1

    I'm going to admit I'm learning here, would it be worth welding up the crack and then boring the cylinder in the lsx block before the new sleeve goes in? Or is that just more trouble than it is worth?

    Hello Steve, just out of curiosity how many sleeves could be replaced in a Dart Little M over a course of time and have it still function properly?

    Mate - szenario - I got ma 2.5l 10.5:1 on petrol engine and soon work it up and fuel it with CNG, highering the compression to 13,5, whereas thru the lower volumetric efficiency of the CNG iam ending up with 5% less power but a way better environmental and economic outcome...
    However, I want to set up a H2 engine using the same MPI and a 1.5 bar supercharger, getting it up to 20:1 compression you need for efficient H2 burn... however, thru the 50 percent lower volumetric efficiently, I still end up with 10% less power than the original 170 hp... what do you thing? I would put high temp high compression valves for sure, but would you also do something with the block? We get not more power, but compression more

    Hello Steve. Thank you for your channel I'm learning a lot and loving it. QUESTION how big can you sleeve a engine. PS under 1000hp for now at least lol. I have 104mm bore spacing and would like to fit 99.314mm pistons. Anybody that knows can also answer. I just want to know if I'm dreaming. If it's not possible at least I can stop thinking about it. Regards Rik
