What are you guys' opinons on sleeving a cylinder? I blew a piston and scared cylinder 4 pretty bad. I haven't had my machinest look at it yet, but I'm just curious what people think of sleeving a cylinder in a daily? If worse comes to worse and this is my only option, would I run into any issues down the road? I made 621whp on the stock block when it finally decided to let go. WG line popped off and overboosted which of course resulted in it detonating.

Opinions/Experience?

Thanks,
Anthony

 

From what I've seen on here nobody sleeves the 4g63. Maybe you will be able to punch it out a little to clean up the scaring? If that's not feasible then you're gunna need to find a new block.

Im not sure the going rate to sleeve a block however a little birdy is telling me that it probably costs around the same amount as a replacement block which begs the question as to why bother sleeving it in the first place?

 

Thier probably different but my buddies 1g 4g63 is bored 80 over with no issues.

I know Evos typically stop at 40 over.

Have your machinest look at it.

 

Search, I remember reading thread about it that went into great detail and it didn't work out well.

 

Sleeving is 125.00 a cylinder, its when u need to sleeve a V8 350 or 400 block its not worth it.
If its done right it will be fine,
as for the 4g63, not sure how much meat is down there to hold the sleeve in place, thats the issue.

 

I have seen a few sleeved 4g63's with results that are positive. Have a friends car that I built that has a sleeve in #4, making 480 on pumpgas with a 2.3. Hes tracked it many times(at lower power levels of course), and had 0 issues.
