220 sleeve

Post by scheckaet »

with enough money anything is possible...
However, i'm pretty sure the ports are different...putting a sleeve is going to be a challenge me think...
I have a 220 head and cylinder with all the kips parts but that needs replate. I was keeping it to try a 220 at some point. For the right price I'd let it go though. make an offer if you're interested (can post pics) the worst thing that could happen is me saying no. :wink:

I would not think so. Without extensive work the port openings in the sleeve will not line up to the cylinder ports. By the time you altered the sleeve, the cylinder, or both enough for them to match you'd have neither a 200 or a 220, but something completely new that may or may not work very well. Entirely conjecture as I have never seen anyone attempt it, but I do know that the porting is considerably different from the 200 to the 220.

I had a brain cramp on that question ,,, just dreaming that it would be that simple. :?
