Resleeving a GS1150 Cylinder Block

quebec express;

too bad about some of the idiotic responses. lots of big hat no saddle stuff on this site at times

I don't know the answer to your question, so I did not reply.

Your english is fine.

"Big hat no saddle..." Good one.

I know im not throwin rocks at anyone about their English either. Mine seems to get worse month by month.

The 1260 sleeve is 3.275" OD. Years ago, the 4 valve limit in pro stock was 1294cc. That was a 79mm piston. The sleeve used was 3.300" I can't remember if we put that sleeve into 1100 blocks as it was a lot of years ago.

The reason that the breakthrough can be a problem, is that crankcase pressure can force oil up the outside of the sleeve and it only has to go less than 1/2" and it is out in the airstream.

On the big bore 750 Hondas, we get the breakthrough. Our fix is machining a counterbore in the bottom so we can force an o'ring in there. We make it deep enough for double o'rings.

Your insight is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Yup, oil leakage, I had lots with mine, really messy. Had the machine shop reinstall the sleeves with a good layer of threebond, no more leaks. I was told by a few that the weaker block around the sleeves would only make a difference if you were going turbo or nitrous etc. Mine has 170 - 190 psi compression cold/dry, no sealing or distortion problems.

The question made perfect sense as written...

Chuck you need to get out more!

[JEEPRUSTY]

That is funny

Big hat no saddle!!!!
Funny yes Sir it is. Must use it next chance I get.

Oh yes and the guy's English is fine.

Good info!
Do you know if they installed threebond in the whole bore, or only near the bottom portion to "clone" the OEM rubber o-ring set-up?
Thanks!

At first, I thought so too but "some" of these replies made me second guess the "semantics" side of my question.

Thanks!

No, they spread it over the entire length, I could see it at the breakthrough spots from the outside in between the bores. Very hard to see the breakthrough from the outside, hidden in between the bores.
