hey everyone,
I got into an argument today about the 3s. The people I was talking with insisted that EVERY cast iron block MUST have sleeves, because cast iron cant stand up to the conditions in a cylinder. I said that the 3s does not have sleeves, and when I jumped on google I confirmed that fact. However, I could not find information on whether the cylinder walls are plated with a harder material. Could someone shed some light on the issue? If i remember right I saw photos of cylinder liners on someones 3s block in a thread. Do we have cylinder liners or is it just the cast block? I looked through my factory service manual and couldn't find any information either. any input is appreciated This post has been edited by enderswift: Aug 23, 2011 - 7:37 PM --------------------  |

The people you were talking to are fools.
Cast iron has been used in engine blocks since the get go. Even some alloy blocks use a normal cast iron sleeve. -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r
