[02yamaturd]

still has me worried a little bit though...lol...dammit.....

 

[blasterfreek30]

wow ,that is wild .as mentioned there are several ways to salvage it but none is easy and bullet proof ,all ican assume is they must not have had the proper fit from the sleeve ot the bore relationship and over time the pressure and use shook it loose and it spun in the casting ,i can honestly say ive never seen that before ,really sucks big time.if its any consolation the ct/lasleeve big bore has a thicker sleeve and is heavier duty than the vitos kit

jeez i was hoping someone has seen this before lol....ill be talking with ya real soon brotha

wow freek sorry to see that crap X( but on the plus side im beyond excited to see a FLOTEK ported LA sleeve!!!!! giggidy frickin giggidy lol I:I I:I I:I

yea man its time to bury the vitos in the back yard and welcome the ported la sleeve kit lol....whoo hoo

I had to order some stuff today so I asked a few questions. The cylinder is cast around the sleeve. No machine work involved. The sleeve is also straight on the sides. No ribs like OEM stuff.

Comes down to poor quality control. Vito's should replace it. It shouldn't matter where it was bought or when.

Oh, really...LOL....woulda kinda figured all the builders grinding on these things woulda noticed that

Poor casting, poor quality control, poor biz practices = Vitos

Like I said before, two "dutchmen" installed between the sleeve and the cylinder will stop this from happening again. I've never had one spin but the first sleeve I did dropped. My fault, my bike and a lesson learned. It happened on a KTM 250 MX. I still do a fair amount of sleeves and will start pinning them just to be on the safe side.

I believe the dutchman will keep the sleeve from rotating but my concern is that when the sleeve separates from the casting, the heat transfer from iron sleeve to aluminum jug is disrupted at precisely the time you need it most. Probably wrong, just wonderin.
