[Fot] Racetorations TR2 - 4A 87mm - 89mm Thick Wall Piston Liner - Racetorations from Racetorations UK

[Tony and Annie Garmey]

Regardless of who makes or supplies the liners , with the correct protrusion, the liner will hourglass .
Only way to correct this is the use of a torque plate and then proceed with boring and honing to final finish size .

Yes , a lot of work but you’ll get better ring seal and hopefully not stick a piston :-)

Merry Christmas to all

The liners distort a lot when torqued down, even 87mm.
I have no experience with the liners in question, so can't offer anything on them.

Why thicker walls on a 87mm liner, they are strong enough  with the normal thickness?

The figure of 8 gaskets are thicker than 0.010" : 0.016 or 0.018".

Boring up to 89mm : I would rather buy 89mm liners, without the need of machining.
I bought several parts from Racetorations (Darryl Uprichard) and was always satisfied.

I came across this advertisement today and was curious if anyone has used these liners and done so w/o fo8 gaskets as described in the listing.

Thanks
Greg.
