Detailed Description

Melling CSL1160 cylinder liner is engineered for engine rebuilds that need a replacement sleeve with consistent dimensions and durable material selection. The cast iron construction supports machining and long-term service in block repair work, while the universal, non-flanged design gives rebuilders flexibility across a wide range of applications. This part number, CSL1160, is listed for stock replacement use and is associated with Ford applications such as F-250, F-350, F-150, E-350 Econoline, and Mustang engine rebuilds. CSL1160 is also cross-referenced to LA73, ML1160, and SL1160 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing worn or damaged cylinder sleeves during an engine rebuild
• Restoring cylinder bore integrity after wear, scoring, or corrosion
• Supporting block repair when the original liner no longer meets spec
• Returning compression sealing surfaces to serviceable condition
• Addressing cylinder wall damage in stock replacement rebuilds

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore dimensions before installation and confirm the liner matches the required outside diameter, inside diameter, and length for the block being serviced. Because this is a universal cylinder liner, final machining and fitment checks should be completed during the rebuild process. Use proper engine machine-shop procedures for pressing, finishing, and final sizing.
