dodge hemi question and intro.

[CKA]

hello im new to the fourm and trying to learn from you guys. i got a 241red ram hemi this past weekend for cheap. i broke the motor down to the short block only to find rust in 6 cylinders some worse than others. do all the dodge hemis share the same block? how much can a 241 be bored? is sleeving an option? thanx for any info.

All low deck engines were made from the same casting,just bored to the next size without increasine bore thickness.Same with tall deck engines,but tall deck engines were compensated with thicker walls to accomidate larger bore.DON"T try to bore to tall deck diameter.

Hello...I had to bore and use a sleeve in my 241..nothing wrong with sleeves if done correct. blown engines have sleeves..I went .030 on the bore. get it sonic tested first, to make sure the walls of the cylinders are good..
duane..
