Recently my neighbor shut down his Jubilee after working with it. The next day he went to start it and all he got was a "Clunk" when he pressed the started. After diagnosing that is was not in the electrical system or starter, he disassembled the motor and found that the sleeve in one of the cylinders had completely separated about 1/8-1/4" from the top. This allowed the bottom part of the sleeve to fall down and interfere with the rotation of the crankshaft. Hence the clunk... have others experienced this separation of the sleeve and if so, is it a common problem with N's or later models?? Just learnin' and curious.

As they say in Florida, "It happens!"

Usually it is caused by some overzelous mechanic honing out the cylinder bore while the sleeve is out of the engine thinking he is doing something usefull. NOT! Their is supposed to be a .005 interference fit between the OD of the sleeve and the ID of the bore. When he replaces the sleeve he should wash off any trace of oil on the bore of the block and then use some epoxy with only about half the recommended hardner in the mix and then drive it in quickly before the epoxy has time to set up. It will stay put for all practicle reasons.

This would be a good time to replace the other sleeves too if needed. If it has no ridge on the sleeves and the rings are still good with no blow by I would just replace the damaged one along with that piston and rings and put it back together.

I'd listen to ZANE.About a year ago i had sleeve go right throught the crank shaft while it was running.OH boy what a mess. There was a hole in the block where the sleeve was ment to be.I took ZANE'S advise and put a trouble light down the hole for a few hours,put the new sleeve in the deep freeze, mixed up a batch of JB weld ,put a swath oround the bottom of the bore and a little under the rim at the top.(have a lathe so i made up a plug with step on it )drove her in till she hit the bottom.Let her set up over night and put it together and she still purrs like a kitten till this day.
