Yesterday was a bad day for my 67 Triumph Bonneville Build. Brought my cylinder jugs to the machinist to have them bored. After glassbeading the first jug i look and find a hairline crack in the skirt. I say alright good thing I have another jug. Take that one out of my truck and what do I see... another hairline crack.
The pictures are of both cylinders and the cracks in each.
Has anyone has success welding something of the sort. My machinist said he is not comfortable with doing that...
As another alternative has anyone ever sleeved a cylinder in such a case...
Any input is appreciate!
*As a sidenote...is 5 thou an acceptible piston to bore clearance using Emgo pistons and Hastings rings. After looking at the manual I did some searching and found that lots of people seem to have different views on what is 'correct'.
