i have 2 outboard engines 2t the same one the block is damaged and one the sleeves are worn ,i was going to try to remove the slevees from one and put them in the other ,is it hard to do ?
i can fit the block in my oven ,but cant see any videos on how to do it on the web anyone any advice or videos on how to do it ?

Are the liners definitely pressed in? They can be cast in, in which case they are not possible to remove/replace.

its a alloy block with steal liners.
im sure you can buy new liners sleeves from america for this 2 stroke engine .

^^^ yes but how do they fit the new liners? If as ^^^^ says, they are cast in, then the new liners could be fitted by maching out the old liners?

dunno - maybe ask on a motrocycle forum?


oh, and remember how thre fitting goess - heat block drop in cold liner - to do the reverse you would heat block but without heating the liner - can't see how you can do that .... but the expansion of aluminum is bigger than steel/cast iron so maybe you can - something else top consider.

The theory is heat it up, and they fall out.

When you fit the new ones I think you will need to skim the head, so unless you can do that yourself you might as well get an engine recon place to do both bits.

I was told this by the nice chaps at http://www.robwalkerengineering.com/ but I suspect they are not close enough to you to be any use to you.
