What is the difference between a liner and a sleeve, or is it different words for the same thing. The thing in your picture that has pulled down a bit is made of what material and how did it get there?
http://www.pca.org/tech/tech_qa_question.asp?id={F3EA752A-E838-43E5-A43D-BB4F445F5A8F} This PCA article talks about a preformed silicon liner that is inserted into the block mold before the metal is cast. Then it talks about an out of spec block that has been bored and a liner pressed in. Which version is in your pictures?
I am use to the "slipped sleeve" problem of some 1998/1999 motors. To me this is when an out of spec block was bored out and a metal sleeve pressed in, like in the middle cylinder of my picture. Am I seeing something different in your pictures? Thanks. Jeff
