Re: The FX24D engine problem...
Does anyone out there know if an engine that was not originally sleeved can be bored out enough (safely) to get sleeves in? I wonder if there is enough cylinder wall there to bore out that far?
Second, are the cylinder walls I have made of some sort of exotic alloy or possibly impregnated with something to extend the engine life? Or are they just ordinary aluminum or steel? (2) Will the new rings seat into the new sleeves? The rings I buy will be made to mate to the original cylinder wall material - not the new non-original steel sleeves. Am I overlooking something?
Thanks again. Dennis
