You must be able to, I had to have a cylinder re-sleeved after rust ate a hole in the cylinder wall.

Russell Engineering in Sydney gets them from somewhere, he can sleeve a 1380 back to 1275. Not cheap to do though... :lol:

Works out to be about $240 per cylinder :shock:

I'm building an S motor for a mate that just had 2 sleeves fitted, and then block bored to +.030", all by CB Performance in Seven Hills. Pistons are Hypatecs.
Looks a neat job, not sure what cost was, but I bet nothing like $240 per hole for the sleeve job..

That was GR's price when I called him about 6 months ago.

Yep and Tasmania.
Expensive though, glad it was only one cylinder.
