BCBC CSL130 Engine Cylinder Liner

Engine Cylinder Liner Overview

Melling CSL130 is a standard replacement engine cylinder liner for rebuild work that calls for a precise sleeve replacement. It is a universal, cast iron liner built for stock applications and listed across a wide range of Chevrolet, GMC, and International engines.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction for engine rebuild applications
• Standard replacement grade for stock-style service
• Universal fitment for broad rebuild use
• Finished dimensions: 6.75 in. length, 0.094 in. wall thickness
• Measured bore dimensions: 4.125 in. cylinder bore, 4.315 in. outside diameter, 4.08 in. inside diameter

Detailed Description

The Melling CSL130 cylinder liner is intended for engine block repair where a worn or damaged cylinder sleeve must be replaced with a correctly sized component. Melling positions this liner as an economical rebuild part, and the CSL130 follows that approach with a cast iron body, universal configuration, and standard replacement grade. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., LA52B, ML130) for the same application.

Fitment coverage includes 1970-1980 Chevrolet and GMC truck and passenger applications, plus 1965-1968 International CO4000 Transtar. For Chevrolet C10, C20, C30, Camaro, Chevelle, Impala, Monte Carlo, and related models, CSL130 supports stock rebuild specifications where the original cylinder sleeve must be restored. It also fits GMC C1500, G2500, K1500, Jimmy, and Sprint applications in the listed years.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn cylinder sleeve during an engine rebuild
• Restoring cylinder wall dimensions after block wear
• Repairing damage from scoring, corrosion, or overbore work
• Returning a rebuild to stock-style sleeve specifications
• Supporting machine-shop cylinder block service

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore dimensions and block machining requirements before installation. Because this is a universal liner, final fit depends on the engine block being serviced and the machining process used. Verify the listed dimensions against the rebuild specification for the Chevrolet, GMC, or International engine being repaired.

Quality Assurance

Melling manufactures replacement cylinder liners with a focus on design capability, material selection, and workmanship. The CSL130 is part of Melling's stock replacement line and is built for rebuild applications that require a standard cylinder liner solution.
