Any one had a 6.0 sleeved? My cousin in texas has his 6.0 at a machine shop and they dont want to sleeve it they want to just bore that one cylinder out and leave the rest standard bore.

 

No way Jose. That's rough as he'll on rod and main bearings. That one uneven stronger cylinder will beat the hell out of the entire rotating assembly not to mention the one heavier piston. Will be damn near impossible to balance as well. I'd just bore it and go bigger or resleeve that one hole. I've seen that done with no ill effects. Are the cylinder walls beat up that bad??

 

I completely agree this will cause a lot of balancing issues plus that hole will have bigger CI than the others have more compression and run leaner plus he's spraying it. Its a veru bad idea in my opinion

 

I've been running with one sleeved cylinder for three years.

 

Sleeved back to the same displacement I assume?

 

To the same as whatever the other seven are. I guess the machine shop screwed up one cylinder when they were boring it to make my 408.

No, I didn't get one humongous piston to emulate the sound of a hot cam at idle.

 

Sounds like your cousin has his block at the wrong shop... The fact that they even suggested that should be a good Clue that he is at a Terrible shop...

Good Luck!

 

ummmm YEAH! no way i would let them do any work! If they suggested boring one cylinder to a bigger bore, they really dont know what they are doing.... JMO!

I only paid 1700 to get my 6L bore with new pistons, .030 bore, bearings, ARP rod bolts.
