What causes damage to a cylinder block?
Common causes include overheating, poor lubrication, corrosion, detonation, and mechanical stress. Cracks, warping, and excessive wear can result from high engine temperatures or lack of routine maintenance. Early detection and proper machining can often prevent major failure and extend engine life.
What is cylinder boring?
Cylinder boring is the process of enlarging a cylinder’s diameter to restore its roundness and surface finish. It is commonly done to repair wear or damage and to accommodate oversized pistons. Precise boring ensures proper piston fit, compression, and engine efficiency.
What is sleeving a cylinder block?
Sleeving involves inserting a new cylindrical liner into a damaged or worn cylinder bore. This restores proper internal dimensions and allows continued use of the block. Sleeves are typically used when boring alone cannot correct severe damage or when converting to a different piston size.
