BCBC CSL1128 Engine Cylinder Liner

Engine Cylinder Liner Overview

Melling CSL1128 is a standard replacement engine cylinder liner for rebuild work that requires a precise sleeve replacement. It is a universal, non-flanged cast iron liner built for stock applications and measured to support common cylinder bore service needs.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction for engine block repair and rebuild use
• Standard replacement grade for stock-style service
• Universal fitment for broad application coverage
• Non-flanged design for cylinder sleeve replacement work
• Measured dimensions: 6.5 in. length, 0.094 in. wall thickness
• Part number CSL1128 for ordering and identification

Detailed Description

The CSL1128 cylinder liner is intended for engine rebuilds where the original cylinder sleeve must be replaced with a correctly sized service part. Melling manufactures this liner with cast iron and controlled dimensions, including a 3.307 in. cylinder bore diameter, 3.497 in. outside diameter, and 3.277 in. inside diameter. This makes it a practical choice for machine-shop work on applications such as BMW 325i, BMW 318i, and Chevrolet LUV engine rebuilds. The CSL1128 is part of Melling’s stock replacement line, which focuses on replacement cylinder liners for standard engine service rather than custom fabrication.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., LA281) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn or damaged cylinder sleeves during an engine rebuild
• Restoring cylinder wall integrity after wear, scoring, or damage
• Supporting machine-shop cylinder repair work
• Returning a block to standard replacement service dimensions
• Addressing sleeve replacement needs on BMW, Isuzu, Dodge, and Chevrolet applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires proper engine machining and measurement before final fitment. Verify bore dimensions, liner height, and block preparation against the engine specification before pressing or finishing the sleeve. Because this is a universal liner, confirm the application-specific machining requirements for the engine being rebuilt. Use the part number CSL1128 during ordering and inspection to avoid mix-ups with similar sleeves.

Quality Assurance

Melling positions this liner within its stock replacement program and manufactures it with quality materials and workmanship for rebuild service. The CSL1128 part number helps ensure correct identification during engine repair and machine-shop processing.
