  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc WR 300 cylinder sleeve

Hi guys,
Does anybody know where in Australia I can send by cylinder to have a steel sleeve installed, usually heaps cheaper than nikasil and can go oversize later on.
Thanks in advance.
 
Not sure if you can get a steel sleeve, normally the bore is re-nikasil plated when it has been worn/damaged.
 
The local dealer in Canberra has quoted me $650 inc piston to get sleeve fitted and some of the machine shops in the states I have contacted have said they can do it but I'm tring to find the best price. (on wife and kids budget!)
 
In the states it was just over $200 the last cyl. I had done and last time I priced sleeves they were over $100 not installed. I have seen lots of different machine shops mess up a sleeve install. Also if you could get a sleeve for it (I haven't seen them ) can you get over sized pistons? (Just thinking out loud)

How much was it to replate?

I am sure oversize pistons aren't available just the usual graded sizes.
 
most machine shops that sleeve should have a comprehensive list of pistons to suit your motor or source one that is correct for oversize, i know of a company that will make a piston for your size from a blank that they can machine to spec theyre in oz jp pistons
so yes oversized pistons are avaliable even if custom. and 99% of any make of barrel or engine component can be re manifactured or replaced:thumbsup:
i recomend sleeve as ive done 3000 miles odd on my existing one with no problems so far, dont be put off do research and find a good shop, call them and see what they say you can normally see who knows what theyre doing on the phone with some questions.
