Cylinder Resleeving
A viable and cost effective method of repairing your cylinder.   We are probably the longest established and most experienced sleeving company in the UK, with over 22 years experience, we make our own sleeve-liners in-house using the highest quality materials. Sleeve
Why sleeve it?
Firstly it is more economical than plating, with prices starting from £85.77 including VAT.  There are no extra charges for welding etc. Once a cylinder has been sleeved if you wear it out or damage it you do not then need to have it completely re-conditioned as it is reborable up to 8 times at a typical cost of £17.62 incl per bore.  With piston kits available in most of these oversizes.  This represents a massive saving over replating every time you damage your cylinder.
Block
There are myths and old wives tales saying that there may be poor heat transfer or lack of power after a sleeve has been fitted, rubbish!  There are Honda MX bikes in production now with sleeves, Class 1 Kart engines are sleeved and reved to 18,000rpm with no loss of power.  Plated cylinders are cheaper to manufacture in the first place but more expensive to repair.  It is not necessary to use different rings in modern sleeves.
