I decided to start hunting for the replacement sleeve for the Leckich 420/350 cylinder. I am pretty sure I can hone it and put another piston back in but it may be on its last bore now at 88.50MM. DH was pretty sure they made the sleeves, I really appreciate all the info greatly. Anyway, I emailed LA Sleeve a few days back and I will let you read what they said. Any suggestions? I would like to make another jug or two setup with these sleeves............

Hi,
I recently bought a Leckich Co. liquid cooled stadium racer cylinder for one of my 350 Odysseys. It is currently bored to 88.50MM and looks to be near the largest bore. I do know that the guy who built these got the sleeves from your company and built 1500 race cylinders. I know the largest bore for a stock 350 is 82MM and this sleeve is much larger. Is there any chance anyone there has records of what sleeve he bought from you? I am guessing it could be a CR450 or CR480 air cooled cylinder sleeve. If you have any pictures and specs on these so I can compare it to what I have now. Thanks for any help on this problem.

I know we made those sleeves for Lekich. But, I cannot locate any record. Whatever we build will probably be from scratch. Not sure on price but maybe $275 per sleeve. Let me know if you'd like to proceed. Thanks, dave@lasleeve
