Detailed Description

Melling CSL1142 cylinder liners provide an economical way to replace worn cylinder sleeves during a quality engine rebuild. The cast iron construction and standard replacement design support accurate machining and dependable fitment in restoration and rebuild work. This liner is intended for universal applications rather than a vehicle-specific installation, which gives engine builders flexibility when matching sleeve dimensions to the block. For Pontiac rebuild projects, CSL1142 offers a practical sleeve solution for several classic Pontiac models across the 1937-1949 range. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., LA34, ML1142) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn or damaged cylinder sleeves during an engine rebuild
• Restoring cylinder wall dimensions for machining and reconditioning
• Addressing scoring, wear, or sleeve damage in rebuildable blocks
• Supporting restoration work on classic Pontiac engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore dimensions, liner outside diameter, and liner inside diameter before installation. Because this is a universal cylinder liner, final fit depends on proper machining and engine builder measurements. Confirm block condition and machining requirements before pressing or finishing the sleeve.

Quality Assurance

Melling manufactures replacement cylinder liners with quality materials and workmanship for engine rebuild use. The CSL1142 is part of the Stock product line, which is positioned for replacement service applications.
