    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1150 cylinder liner O-rings

Wondering if these o-rings need to be replaced, if they're intact? I'm getting some stock liners bored and wanted to make sure.

Thanks for any advice.
 
I replace them when building a new engine. Why do a half-azzed job? You can always just cross your fingers that they haven dried out at all in the last 30 years or so. ;)

What was it that dirty harry said? "Do you feel lucky punk?"

if you open the upper case for larger liners then the o-rings has no affect anymore.

What do you mean by upper case? Oh, I get it...No I'm not machining the upper case. I'm boring the stock liner for a 1229 kit, since I could not find one "old school MTC piston stamped K". I bet one will turn up after I get the engine back together. I have one block already bored, but grenaded the #1 cylinder sleeve. I plan to bore a stock cylinder to match the pistons I recently bought and then try to find a liner for the damaged sleeve on the "now" spare block.
