Betreff: [Fot] Different Tr3/4 sleeve design

=20

I've been thinking about the tr tractor motor sleeve/liner for a while =
-especially after a liner  cracked during a race. =20
Went to the drawing board (autcad) and put some of my thoughts in a =
digital cad  format. =20

The owner of  LA sleeve cleaned up my drawing a bit and I am glad to see =
that the project is completed.

=20

Some comments - some surprising.

1) each liner is about 200 gm lighter than stock. The liner is shortened =
to be the same   Dimension as the depth of the pocket in the block.=20
2) it is substantially stiffer than stock and holds machining tolerances =
much better.

3) the .040" groove is .035" deep to accept a .040" wire. (Square wire =
or round)

4) the wire groove on the surface may not need a wire -as the edges on =
either side  in the groove impart an increased unit surface pressure on =
the gasket.  The gasket will dimple into this recess and lock.=20

5) there is only a single flat on opposing liners.  My understanding of =
having multiple flats was to rotate and hone the liners during =
engine/tractor rebuilds. =20

6) cooling efficiency not tested.
