<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hi Mordy, I like your design and the amount of material you have at the top of the liner in case you want to shorten the liners. I wonder if the wire groove would be interfered with after you cut the intake valve relief in the top of the liner. What sizes are you going to make?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 5, 2016 at 4:34 PM, Mordy Dunst <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gasket.works@gte.net" target="_blank">gasket.works@gte.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I've been thinking about the tr tractor motor sleeve/liner for a while -especially after a liner cracked during a race. <br>Went to the drawing board (autcad) and put some of my thoughts in a digital cad format. <div>The owner of LA sleeve cleaned up my drawing a bit and I am glad to see that the project is completed.</div><div><br></div><div>Some comments - some surprising.</div><div>1) each liner is about 200 gm lighter than stock.
