removing a cast iron sleeve

[jdbuckshot]

im working on rebuilding a gx340 11hp. I have everything pulled but the flywheel and crank.

this motor sat for a long period of time outdoors, and the cylinder above the piston is baddly corroded. i haven't cleaned it out yet to see how bad. my guess is i'll need a new sleeve.

where can i find a replacment sleeve? or could i hone it out and get over size rings?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

sleeves are press fit normally. if it is not too bad you may be able to hone/bore it. even if honda doesn't make the oversized parts, wiseco and a few others should.

I know with briggs engines the sleeve is cast into the block while it is still a rough casting itself. Odds are you will have to bore the block till the sleeve is gone, or perhaps there is enough sleeve there to bore the pitting out.
