What's the quality like on a cylinder for a true grubee vs another off brand motor? Is the chrome plate any thicker or more durable than what you would find otherwise?
Anyone heard of putting a cast iron sleeve in one of these? Or finding a cast iron cylinder and using that instead of the jug we normally use? I've seen a couple of cylinders for various engines using cast iron, also saw a sleeve for a Yamaha or something, but it was a 50cc, undoubtedly the timing was way different considering the cylinder diameter was the same 47 we use.
I saw a few jugs that were cast iron but didn't have cooling fins, I just figured they were liquid cooled, I've seen some options for brazing aluminum to cast iron, might be a viable option, a cylinder like that would just last for so long it would probably outlast the bottom end.
Thoughts?
