Detailed Description

Melling CSL235 cylinder liner is engineered for engine rebuilds where the original cylinder sleeve must be replaced to restore proper bore condition. Its cast iron construction and standard replacement specification make it a practical choice for machine-shop work on older Jeep and Plymouth engines, including applications such as Jeep CJ5, Jeep CJ6, Jeep FC150, and Plymouth Deluxe models. The CSL235 is part of Melling's stock replacement line, focused on serviceable components for rebuilders who need consistent dimensions and dependable material quality. This part cross-references L604 and SL235 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Repairing worn or damaged cylinder walls
• Restoring bore size during a rebuild
• Replacing a cylinder sleeve during block machining
• Correcting scoring, taper, or out-of-round cylinder conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Machine-shop installation is required. Verify bore dimensions, liner outside diameter, and finished inside diameter before installation. Because this is a universal liner, final fitment depends on block machining and proper cylinder preparation. Confirm the application against the engine build specifications before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Melling manufactures replacement cylinder liners with quality materials and workmanship for engine rebuild applications. The CSL235 is a stock replacement component intended for rebuilders who need a standard-spec liner with consistent dimensional control.
