What do these sleeves fit?

Postby JerrryR » Tue Dec 08, 2020 8:53 pm

Hi All,
I bought these sleeves thinking they were for a KH, just another screw up on my part. Can anyone tell me what they are for?

Hello Jerry - strange size - WL (45ci) sleeves are 2-3/4" x 7". (I think) - Maybe these are for a big twin flatty? Cheers Hayley.

Check to see if 2 7/8" refers to the OD. If so, the ID would finish to a standard 2.75" bore.

2.875" OD and 3/16" combined wall thickness = 2.6875" ID, and too long.

The sleeve ID is about 2.85", the OD is about 3.065"

Right, I did the math. I said finish at 2.75". I'm assuming no one is going to slam pistons in an new sleeve w/o finish honing. Too short is an issue, but too long isn't. The last step or the install would be to mill the deck and chamfer. No question there's a lot hanging out there, but that's what you get with a generic sleeve. If you want a custom sleeve, LA Sleeve has them.

No idea what that would be then.

How do I finish a sleeve at a 2.75ID if it presently is 2.85ID? What am I seeing wrong here?

I was referring to the numbers @panic posted. If the ID is 2.85 already you're out of luck.

Thanks all for your thoughts about the sleeves. Another site member emailed me that he believes they are old Scout sleeves, seems likely to me. Anybody need them? I think I paid about $70 for them.
