Piston Sleeves

[Schtick]

I'm overhauling a D1105 3 cyl diesel that had a cracked head. Water sat in #2 cyl and it was seriously corroded so I have to replace the sleeve and the piston.

I thought that when the new sleeves came they would pretty much be ready to install but instead I found that inside wall of the sleeve had small very pronounced ridges from the top to the bottom. I'm trying to figure out what that's about. I've been using a cylinder hone buts its slow going. Am I missing something? Is possible there some kind of shipping or protective surface applied to the inner wall? I've attached a photo of it

Am I missing something?

Yes your missing a boring machine.
The sleeves are semi finished and need to be bored to size AFTER they are installed in the block.
Doing it with Normal hone will NOT work.
1: It would take you forever to get it to size.
2: It will not give you a round cylinder.

Don't use!

There is a boring hone that will work but they are pricey.

You can do it with this:
Warning you will need several sets of different stones of various grits to do it, and it is a VERY slow process with a very good drill!

Most people would have the existing sleeve removed, the new one installed and bored to size by a machine shop.

Any decent engine shop can resleeve a dry sleeved engine at a reasonable cost. Process would be something like:

1. Bore out old sleeves
2. Install new sleeves
3. Bore as required AND then hone to final size and surface finish.

FInal sizing is done using equipment like this. The hone is adjustable fixed size, not spring loaded, and produces precisely sized bores without taper or belling.
