#1 Liner fitting

Post by sulzeruk » Wed Dec 06, 2023 10:13 am

Anyone fitted the Rob Beere liners? 3 of my originals are distorted about an inch below the lip so presume they have corroded at the back of the water jacket and distorted the bore somehow as there is a fair lip there. The new ones arrived yesterday and I wondered if anyone has any tips or pointers when fitting them.

Get a professional engine shop to do it . It is not straightforward without the correct equipment

Er, if they are Rob Beere liners and you’ve not used them before, wouldn’t it be a good idea to get same Rob Beere to fit them ?

My experiences with them have been excellent.
