Anyone know what the Westach dual CHT with a couple 12 mm ring terminal sensors costs roughly? They don't have pricing and I haven't had time to call them during the day.

Yeah, I found it.. I didn't look hard enough the first time. Thanx.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the engine (type/ stroke / size) ?

Sounds like the high compression motor is a real different beast!

I love the idea of testing something so close to the edge

Cheers,
Dan

Ok, so I got my case back and the steel sleeves are really rough looking, like someone took a round rasp on a drill chuck to them. They are not smooth like the mag bores were. Is this a normal thing? I mean if the reaming is true, and the grooves retain oil better, it could make sense but I am not used to seeing internals look rough like this. Opinions?

got a pic?
What you say has validity, retaining oil,,,,, somewhat, but from what I've heard, they should be as smooth, if not smoother than the mag ones. Show us what you have.

Mark,

Post some pictures. Jake will have my mag case soon too and we'll have a second case to compare against. I do have a sleeved t4 case and it wasn't pretty- I hope that it doesn't look like what we're getting!

Dude, that can't be right............it looks so..........scary...........

Yeah, I hope my case doesn't look like that too... can't be right, but we need someone to chime in that has had this done before or has done it themselves to be sure. I can't forsee it damaging the lifter in any way, since we've already determined that they are indestructible, but worth investigating. I do have to say it looks better than the type 4 case in my store room though.

Yeah, it's sure got me wondering. Does not seem right to me. I'm not sure how they could have done a match job to the lifters with those, they just seem so.. rough. I think it must be a screwup.

So what should the bore diameter be on them, Charles?

Damn..... My king pin reamer leaves a smoother finish than that...

I had them install the sleeves for me, then I remed my own to size. Being that rough won't wear the lifter- nothing will wear those lifters!

mharney · Post by **mharney** » Mon Aug 16, 2004 2:54 pm

Well, the lifter may survive, but with the reduced contact area, will the sleeve survive, is the question.

I called and they wanted me to send a picture. I did it and I await a phone call from them.

Oh, and Charles, yours in in process right now. Maybe you wanna call them about it.
