Exactly! Someone who understandsI had the top end off and put threebond around the sleeves. I guess I didnt get it all sealed. Threebond is a real pain to work with. Should have used ultra black or something
Or even JB weld:idea:
You put 1150 sleeves in an 850 blockwowzers If you could clean that area well enough, JB might work.
Threebond, the product used for sealing the crankcase halves might work if applied to the break through areas and the bottom of the sleeves.
I've never used JB Weld, but believe that it dries hard, so probably won't work well with expanding and contracting areas.
The cylinders haven't been fitted to the engine yet, so there are nice clean surfaces to seal at present. I'd like to choose the right solution rather than having to clean old sealant and oil from the area before trying something else.
