cylinder crack

[jimjim]

I have found a small crack in my cylinder wall near the exhaust port.These engines have no sleeve correct?

No sleeve, correct. But it is plated. When I sent my 2002 cylinder to Langcourt for plating, they fixed the crack in my cylinder. I would guess that you will have to replate after welding, so you might want to send it to a plating shop for an estimate.

Thanks for the reply.Its not a huge crack,I would think its repairable.

Is it close to the plating? If you repair it, the plating may become damaged and may need repair (replate). I was just suggesting to send it to a shop who can fix the crack as well as replate, if necessary.

Painless. Highly recommend them over Millenium Technologies.

No real issues, per se, but I received much better pricing, turnaround, and personal service from Langcourt. Almost like Langcourt wanted my business and Millennium just wanted my money.
