Detailed Description

Melling CSL109 cylinder liner is intended for engine block repair and rebuild work where a worn sleeve must be replaced with a correctly sized liner. Its cast iron construction and standard replacement grade make it a practical choice for machinists and rebuilders working on a broad mix of engines. The CSL109 part number is associated with applications across Nissan Pickup, Nissan Frontier, and Chevrolet Cavalier engines, along with many other listed vehicles. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., LA608, LA708) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or damaged cylinder sleeve surfaces
• Loss of cylinder wall integrity during rebuilds
• Need for a replacement liner in stock engine service
• Machining work that requires a universal sleeve dimension
• Engine block restoration on listed applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore dimensions, liner outside diameter, and liner inside diameter before machining or installation. This universal liner is not flanged, so block preparation and final fitment should match the engine builder’s specifications. Verify the application against the vehicle listing and the CSL109 dimensions before assembly.
