While I have never personally disassembled an engine with press fit liners (I am familiar with the dry fit liners of the 71 series Detroit Diesel). I believe fretting could still wear on the outside of the press fit liners due to small differences in thermal expansion
Wouldn't that only come...
There are some dry liner diesel engines that have slip fit liners, though there is a deck flange. I think the press fit should be no more than .0025, check with the supplier of the liner for the recommendation.
The slip fit diesel liners have a tendency to erode/fret the flanges/cylinder bore...
You could use liners with enough wall thickness to allow another re-bore.
That's a possibility. Is a properly fit interference-fit liner going to erode/deform the bore?
We're restoring a 392 Hemi from a numbers matching Chrysler to be used as a daily driver. The car has been in our customer's family since new and the engine rebuilt twice. We plan on using interference fit cylinder liners in all 8 bores as part of the rebuild. Will this allow a future rebuild...
