big bore

[wtfc]

i was looking at a big bore kit for my 200 the pepole sleeve the cylinder but dont port and polish the intake and exhaust should i do that before or after the new sleeve

 

[darederek]

if the porter moves the ports you would have to have it done on the new sleeve again. i would get them done at the same time

Any builder will want the sleeve pressed in before they port it

You are better off finding a builder who can do both. Instal new sleeve and port.

yep send it off to someone that can sleeve it then port it. Also std bore + PP> big bore and no PP

talk to ken oconnor. he can do it all for ya. and look at la sleeve for a sleeve. better than vito's

 

[brandoz28]

by the time you buy a sleeve kit and have it installed you're going to be well on your way to having an LA Sleeve cylinder kit

How is an la sleeve better then a vito's sleeve? If either one is going into a stock cylinder, there really isn't a difference besides price

I agree with brando. By the time you spend the money getting a sleeved big bore set up you can be well on your way to a real big bore jug and head which is much much better performing, and you have alot more room to grow.

Right now I'm running a Vito's 240 Big Bore and when I blew a piston and rings the sleeve needed honed and deglazed and the mechanic said that I had plenty of bore room to go. And you can buy the BB head and jug from Vito's instead of just the sleeve. The sleeve's just the cheaper option.

You can't beat the LA Sleeve cylinder kit if you can get one. They should be back in stock soon. The Vito's sleeve has the three exhaust ports and the LA Sleeve is a single. I'll call LA Sleeve today and see if they have them or when they expect to get them in.

Just in case you didn't catch the difference, wtfc, brando is talking about a complete new cylinder vs. resleeving a stock cyl. The new bigbore cylinder from LA Sleeve is far superior to resleeving a stocker.

245stroker i know there isn't much difference in just the sleeve's from vito's and la sleeve's. i was just leading the dude to a site that might perk some intrest in some of their complete top ends and vitos stuff has been failing for some people lately.
