Cylinder Sleeve Help asap plz

[EncyclopediaRonnie]

hey guys so sent my 1993 kx125 cylinder off to be sleeved. nothing outa the ordinary and the pressing of the sleeve seems good as well as the decking and honing to fit the piston however the ports dont all line up dead smoothe. my dilema is if i machine them out to match the alloy where the sleeve was machined the ports will be bigger and possibly change shape in certain spots.

do i a leave it alone the sleeves ports are corect and it will run perfectly normall or do i need to machine the ports all smoothe and even. nothing fowls but im just not sure. im not woried it was a dud sleeve it was a LA sleeve


cheers guys your helps apreciated,

Did you ask who ever put the sleeve in? Sleeves do not match up, it is impossible. The porting on the sleeve is likely correct, making it pretty where it meets the aluminum will guarantee that it will run worse. Replace the cylinder or leave it alone. Next time, replate it. Vintage Bob

The cast iron coated cylinders are the best thing I have seen, so far, imo. The liners, every guy with a press is a cylinder repair expert. And there is no way from the heat issues.

ohh ive never had a cylinder sleeved and the guy who didnt hasnt done 1 so i wasnt so sure but i can tell you his machine work is top notch the sleeve lines up trick i just wasnt shure abut matching the ports.

i like old school setups to me a cast iorn bore will always be beter than the coating but thats just me. you can buy a sleeve and fit it for like 300. to recoat it costs like 550. i know you chop rings out easier but the extra bite i rekons worth it

250 for a replate. You can usually get a sleeve for 200.

Sadly no, but I sure would like to visit with my dirtbikes some day! And yes, I have seen some of the prices, and some local fabricators and their prices. Fixing a sleeve job, still impractical. It is what it is, now.
