K Series Cylinder Liners.

[Jim H]

Morning folks.

I currently have a thread running in the Elise section. I m currently having a bit of a headache with my K fitted in my Elise. What I originally thought was HGF looks more like a dropped liner.

I thought it best to put this issue out to the wider community. I know there are some seriously clued up folk in this area. Any advice would be extremely welcome.
I m not very familiar with wet liners, what causes them to drop? How is it remedied?

I ve had dialogue with Elise Parts, they can supply a Liner Shim Kit . Any idea how this works?

Dave Andrews. He is on this forum.

If you're pulling the engine apart, consider upgrading to press-fit liners -Scholar does this. You could do this and increase the capacity a little at the same time.

Slippery slope though.

DVA is the guru.

My understanding is a liner(s) drop when the block gets hot and softens. They can be shimmed up, so it’s not necessarily world ending.

Massive thanks guys, I’m probably going to throw the kitchen sink at this job now!

Why not?

Even as an unmarried man, with large bits of Elise, littered all around the house. This situation is unsustainable.

Everywhere I look! Wake from sleep, walk into the living room. There is a bloody clam shell just sitting there! .

I’ve been talking to my girlfriend (about his) .
