The machinist who did one of my blocks a few years back told me a lot of
diesel motors are wet liner, and Mercedes makes some wetliner engines as
well. I thought that MGA motors were wet liner type as well for some reason.
Viscious rumors?

Subject: TR2/4 wet liner engine?
Content-Disposition: inline
Because it is a wet liner engine, everyone on the list knows well the ease
with which the TR2-4 engine can be rebuilt. Just pop out the sleeves and
press new ones in place. My question is, what other cars used a wet liner
design? It is well known in the TR2-4 world but it wasn't even widely used
by Triumph--Spitfires and GT6s don't have wet sleeve engines. Just curious.
