Thread: 350 rusted cylinder

Tweet

There's no way to tell how deep the rust goes without boring until you hit clean metal. If you have to go past 0.030" on that cylinder, but the others clean up at 0.030", you could have the one cylinder sleeved. The block is not junk with one bad cylinder and the sleeved one is as good as new.

If they all clean up at 0.060", you'll have to make the call on cylinder wall thickness. I wouldn't do it, but then I'm a little conservative. There are probably thousands of 0.060"-over 350's running all over the place.

just tell the shop to punch it sixty over and run it.

Well, I guess Ill find out this weekend. I m hoping they can just do a 030 over. Im like techinspector...a little conservative, so I hope they dont have to go 060 over, although a friend of mine has it with no problems.
