Hoony,
Harry Bell is long gone, for nearly a year now. Harry sold up and is now travelling Australia on the proceeds.
Wideline Engineering is still functioning, albeit from the back of the Honda dealership in Mornington.
Whilst they may have all the equipment and tools, unfortunately, they don’t have "Harry"

Could also have the cast iron Nicasiled over and not need a resleeve, you can also resleeve with aluminium and Nicasil that.

Bugger.

Harry was the ONLY guy i would trust to do my cranks (bloody Honda tin can shrouds). bloody time slips away from me as it only seems like 18 mths since i went down to see him and he just got that new dyno. that was probably more like 3-4 years ago i suppose now

Lozza,
 Do you know of a place that would cover what clearance you would need for a sleeve. Different materials would very in the clearance needed I would think.
 The sleeves with a lip at the top would be  different than ones are pressed in?
Alloys would or could matter a lot also.
I'm playing with fitting the top few fins off an alloy barrel onto an Iron barrel cylinder and would appreciate any input i could get on the clearance between sleeve and cylinder.

IMO you cant beat SERCO in Brizzy. Box it up and send it off, every  job ive had done by them is first class.

Get tin can cranks done every week Hoony no drama's at all.

The interference fit on the sleeve to the cylinder is only 3 or 4 thou, the thicker the liner the better interference fit you can get  but it doesn't make any difference. The boundry between the cylinder and cylinder will always be the problem.
