I like your attitude...you got the equipment and you seem to have the time so go for it! If it doesn't work out your not out much other than the cost of the sleeve and your time.

Gosh, what was I thinking...of course its a non-sleeved cast iron block engine just looking at your pictures. Now, I see why others mention it would be pricey to sleeve it. You would have to have it machined to accept a sleeve. It's certainly not a press out re-sleeve job by any means! Hope...

I once removed a sleeve in a 4 cylinder (1075 cc) aluminum motor cycle cylinder casting by hearing it up to 500 F in my wife's oven (she was not at home thank goodness). As I was taking the hot cylinder block out of the oven 1 of the sleeves literally slid out of cylinder and fell out in front...

Wow, that looks quite odd! Wonder what caused a crack like that to form in that section of sleeve only and no piston damage? Maybe that cylinder had water in it and froze to the point the expansion formed a crack there with piston at bottom of stroke...?

Very nice find! Round aluminum tanks are nice. The valley at the bottom makes it easy to drain off any water & sediment and with aluminum you won't ever have to worry about tank rusting out. Not sure how you plan to install/mount it & if your going to build your own mounting scheme (stand...

Its destiny that this generator found its way to you! You seem to be enjoying the necropsy and resurrecting it from its watery grave! Turn up Pandora and soldier on!

Don't beat yourself up too much by not seeing the exhaust flapper. There is not one to be seen when a refrigeration unit generator is removed from refrigeration unit or is not placed in the stowed position in the refrigeration container. It has a vertical exhaust pipe that mates to the elbow...

I'm impressed, you didn't waste much time getting this puppy disassembled! I think your gonna end up with a runner considering the light damage you described from the water that was sitting in the cylinders & exhaust manifold. Take your time, do it right and you will have a unit worth at...

Looks better with the clean up! Who knows, you might get lucky and get by with just a cylinder hone and new rings! Fingers crossed for ya! What's interesting is that that caged exhaust extension does not appear to have any soot inside judging from you photo at the open end...like it was never...
