deMideon Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Does anone know if when you put sleeves in a 400 if you can bore the sleeves to 40 over? My machinest has never done it (bored a sleeve that far) so is unsure if it is ok to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Find a new machinist. He should be answering questions like that, not asking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeshoe Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I REALLY don't like to sleeve 400's but sometimes you have no choice. Yes you can bore it .040 over but you will still not have anymore material than whatever the original wall thickness was unless you put a thick wall sleeve in. Be aware that when you sleeve the 400, the adjacent cylinders need to be bored also to make them round again, the siamesed design of the 400 cylinders makes this an issue.
