Best Source for 4" Liners for 368 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

alnukem · 07-23-2015

Hi, I bought Mitsumark's 91 368 last year after he threw in the towel. It's determined that the liners are shot. What is the best (read "most economical") place to buy the liners machined & ready to be installed? Thanks!

LA sleeve

Jagdpanzer · 07-23-2015

LA Sleeve liners come in around 0.010" under sized and have to be finished honed in the block in a precision honing machine with a deck plate. We have a good motor machine shop down here in WAZOO land that does this work for us. Surprised to hear the existing 4.000" liners are gone already. They are usually made from ductile iron which is a pretty tough material that should last almost forever under normal circumstances, provided the enitial build was done right. Can you post some photos?

LA Sleeve also provides pistons as well. Marc Haibeck has used them on some of his upgrade projects.

I have a set of brand new custom Venolia 4" pistons for sale. I was going to use them for a 402 build but decided to build a 427. Here is a link to my ad http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24599&highlight=venolia

Let me know if you're interested in them.
