Will this chipped sleeve hurt the cylinder?

[Mouthfulloflake]

I dont think this is any big deal, but would like to get the collective opion of the group here.

[SuperJETT]

Where is the chip?

[Mouthfulloflake]

Where is the chip?
at the bottom of the Exh side of the bottom sleeve on the Mag end cylinder...

or see the pics that i finally got uploaded.

:biggrin:

[Mile9c1]

No problem.

[Mouthfulloflake]

No problem.

so I dont need to smooth it, or chamfer or anything?
just leave it like it is?

I plan to sawzall out the exhaust ports, and then send it off to be bored.

I hope your kidding about using the sawzall!

[egbrig]

Smooth it out, give it a chamfer and it will be fine.

Dude... I am an ARTIST with a sawzall.

:biggrin:

[IceRocket1286]

artists and sawzall should never be usd in the same sentence unless your saying sawzalls arent for artists LOL

[Superjet3]

You will be fine just grind it out a bit so it is smooth to prevent further cracks...

[Mouthfulloflake]

make sure there isnt a hairline crack, in the sleve, going up from the chip. they can be hard to see till after a hone or bore.

youll be fine with taking a rasp or a sawzall and smoothing out then chamfering.

see what I mean about the sawzall?

HELL yeeeeahs.

:cool2:

[Mouthfulloflake]

dude, you dont use a sawzall to fix your chipped sleeve. im not sure where you learned pwc mechanics, but anybody that knows anything about engines in general knows that a sawzall is only used to deck a cylinder.

no way man, decking requires VERY precision work.

I only use a belt sander for that type of work.

[Mouthfulloflake]

oh yeah,

I always use a belt sander to grind off those pesky dowels that get in the way of my perfectly flat hand decked cases.

[nikad58]

im sorry Matt
please keep me informed
I didnt see that chip or i would have used my 1/2 hole saw and fixed it..

[wildman326]

Too funny. :haha: :haha: :haha:

[T-bone]

hey guy this is a sawzall.....and if you can use that to work on your cylider then you are an artist.

[nikad58]

nooooooo i use that there thingy to mill heads

[kingnothing3]

now that is skill!:bigeyes: :haha:

[Mouthfulloflake]

You are correct T-bone.

that right there is an actual Sawzall
not a reciprocating saw like those other panzy knockoffs, you know, dewalt, makita, Black and Decker....

that milwaukee Sawzall is exactly what I use to port my cylinders, and cut out old door frames.

one helluva useful tool.
