Detailed Description

Melling CSL296 cylinder liner is engineered for engine block repair where a worn or damaged cylinder sleeve must be replaced during a rebuild. The cast iron construction supports the demands of machining and reconditioning, while the standard replacement design keeps the part focused on serviceable, OE-style repair work. This liner is listed for broad classic Mopar coverage, including Chrysler Newport, Dodge Charger, and Plymouth Fury applications, and the CSL296 part number is also cross-referenced to L53 and SL296 for the same application.

Melling’s Stock line centers on replacement components for rebuilders who need consistent dimensions and dependable material selection. The CSL296 follows that approach with a universal configuration and published bore, outside diameter, inside diameter, and length measurements to help match the liner to the engine machining process. For Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth engine rebuilds, CSL296 provides a straightforward cylinder sleeve solution.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn cylinder sleeve during an engine rebuild
• Restoring cylinder wall integrity after scoring or damage
• Supporting block repair when the original bore is no longer serviceable
• Providing a machinable liner for classic Mopar engine work
• Helping return compression sealing surfaces to usable condition

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore, outside diameter, inside diameter, and length before machining or installation. This liner is universal and not position-specific, so final fit depends on the engine block dimensions and the rebuild process. Confirm the block’s sleeve requirements and machining tolerances before assembly.
