Reply To: Can this cylinder be repaired

[PM T2]

There are some options other than re-sleeving or boring out for an oversized piston, but they involve welding that is beyond the scope of what most of us are capable of. That being said, I have seen some cylinders that exhibited evidence of the wrist pin gouges having been welded up and t he bore machined round afterward. One of those motors is an Elto Hi-Speed Speedster that I got as a project motor from Sam Vance. The welding and machine work had already been completed. everything fit together well and the motor makes lots of compression and I have run it.
