Thread: 1954 Royal Review 47160049

No problem except if you want to put it in the other place it wont accept your photos. It will say they are already posted on the forum. If you wish to you can put them in photobucket then repost them from there.

Well after my engine builder said no liners were available in Oz I got some out from Dunsfolds and on taking them in today I was told he cant press these in because the top is not flat. Seems I need to obtain or make an adaptor.
If its not one thing its another.
Any engineering types happen to be looking at this thread?
How would you go about making a sleeve with the profile to fit these liners?
Also the top edge is not square its tapered. I guess to make it easier for the rings to pass. The liner is a 4 thou inter fit but I dont know what that means in terms of force to press it in.

I think there is a bit in one of the series one workshop manuals about installing sleeves, once the bore has been prepared for the sleeve could you pack it with dry ice and have the block warm, then with out wasting time, insert the sleeve, it should go in a lot easier and when the temperatures stabilise they should be nice and tight.

Yes the manual does not show the top of the liner. Just the tool and how to keep it lined up.
I cant see the builder mucking with heat and ice but if I got him to bore it, then I could bring it home install the liners then take it back for him to bore again to suit the pistons.
Just having a think over a port before I go to bed.
If I turned a sleeve to slide inside the liner.
Put it inside the liner with say 3 inches sticking out the top.
Then cut a bunch of stainless welding rods (gas) into lengths.
arrainged them around the sleeve lengthwise covering the sleeve and securing them with a big hose clamp.
Tap them down to follow the profile of the top of the liner then silver solder them to the sleeve.
Would that be strong enough to press the liner in?

I had a sleve fitted in my 1595 block after the engine reconditioner didn't bore it straight . unfortunately he is out of business now. i'll be going to engine engineering next week i'll ask them if they have ever done them. Your rite about the photo's couldn't put them on the other site.

Google photobucket. Join up and put the pics in there. From there you can put them in as many times as you like. The other advantage is the pics come up full size from the start. A lot of people cant be bothered opening thumbnails. If I can do it you can

Cleaning up the chrome plated rails, I found these numbers under the D shaped base. I wonder if the 13 means it was build no 13.

May be , looks like Rover thought the guy making the rails was dumb the are stamped near sise & left & off side & right . Its only taken me 6 months to work out how to put the photo's on , probely onother 6 months to work out the other way . Wayne
