CYLINDER REBORING/ COATING

[mark]

The bores are lined with a ceramic type of compound over the aluminium cylinder,the lining is only about .002"-.005" thick and the aluminium underneath is not durable enough for long term use on its own
i have heard of some just using the aluminium, but its only in race use and the cyls are a disposable item with a set life in this case.

Can you sleeve a bored block as per the GS/EFE/GPZ blocks or will this interfere with the dome dimensions in the head.?

I have heard of it been done.wouldn't leave much between cyls... and why when you can bore and recoat a cyl for probably similar price??

Maj, I understand what you mean, though, if a block needs to sent to the US for recoating after boring, why not bore,drop in a sleeve, hone for probably a third of the cost ?
