Cylinder re-lining

Post by krisztian_andre »

Hello,

I've found this this thread about cylinder re-lining of a vfr400. Has this ever been done?

My thread, did not proceed, too much money and risk that the result would be a disappointment. Will settle for a rebuild to oem standard when eventually needed, nothing like peace of mind from Honda engineering.

Try google, Melling and LA Sleeve are two USA sources. An engineering shop capable of re-sleeving a cylinder could possibly be capable of manufacturing sleeves to fit.
