[SP0017]

There is this place in melbourne that does darton sleeves, i think its the only place but i can't remember the name.....

I've built two B20 with B16 head motors. One posted and one with a blockguard. The posted motor
soon had oval bores in one and four and had to be rebuilt. We had to resleeve the motor in the end.
We put the problem down to too much pressure on the pins and as soon as the engine reached full
operating temperature the liners squeezed and being one piece all the movement ends up in the end
cylinders. The blockguard motor is still fine. The B20 liners are very weak.

is what you had done called posting?

i dont think it is Jase...

[tinkerbell]

if it is called posting (ie i am wrong) - then it is not the same as the posting that was refered to in the initial post...

[blackdc2]

what do you think posting is??? i was under the impression was dowels being inserted between the bores and the block

posting is horizontal...



'doweling' is vertical...

[tinkerbell]

but i do stand to be corrected,

as i think there are a few different names for the same things here...

but i understand that this thread is about the method that is seen in the pic above...

[blackdc2]

I stand corrected, just a miss interpretation of the word posting. I have never seen the above before, it appears to do that same thing but it would also appear to involve more machining/time
