Gasket is .075 Did not measure the top of the pistons above the deck but I know it wasn't any more than normal around .035 or so. |

Re: This will ruin your day!!!!
Are all the sleeves 3/4"longer than the cylinder? If they are the builder didn't put them correctly. If it is only this cylinder, look closely at the top. Sometimes it is difficult to see a dropped sleeve. I say it is a dropped sleeve because you can see how the top was flexed at the sides where it broke and the top broke at a right angle to this pressure. Better look again.

Re: This will ruin your day!!!!
OK, I'm convinced. What do you think was in the rebuilders head when he put those in? He either didn't know how to install sleeves or didn't have a facing tool for the boring bar. If the only problem is the sleeves, they can be pulled up and pinned to work correctly. If the white marks are cracks I would look for a better block too.

Thanks for sharing as learning tool,eh Curiosity: mabe the person who 'rebuilt' this engine didn't have the tools/equiment to step the bottom of the cylinder...isn't that process standard practice when installing sleeves? With all those cracks (and more you say) was it an 'engine rebuilder' at all that did the work..to your knowledge? Just saying that I'm not a builder, but wouldn't start on a block with that cracked condition without repairs, etc... |

When I install sleeves I leave a step at the bottom of the cylinder. Can't come down. I have seen sleeves that were had a pin thru the lower part of the cylinder that would also work. Don't trust the press fit theory. I had another thought that the rod might be bent but just checked and it has no bend or twist. I do know the owner was going fast when it let go. |

"I do know the owner was going fast when it let go. "
That's why it's never good to play "catch up". That's when things go wrong and it also greatly increases the chance of an accident. |

Nothing like reviving an old thread, but if John Stone is watching, what was the outcome of all this?

Re: This will ruin your day!!!!
You really gave me a challenge. Six years is a long time considering a year ago I had a bout with Viral Meningitis and was in intensive care. The old brain doesn't remember quite like it did after that little episode.
Did a search of my records and found the pictures and the name of the guy I did it for but that was about it. I would imagine we replaced the block since that one was cracked. Haven't heard anything since so must have been successful. Working on a B engine right now but still having some health problems so taking it slow. |
