More from Magnus:
Magnus McLaren Engine Sleeves are engineered to address a known limitation of the factory cylinder design in high-power applications. The OEM steel sleeve, while adequate at stock power levels, has a tendency to bend under extreme cylinder pressure. Once steel bends, it often retains an out-of-round shape, compromising bore concentricity, ring seal, and long-term engine reliability.
Magnus sleeves are manufactured from thick-wall, heavy-duty ductile iron, specifically chosen for its superior rigidity and dimensional stability. This design helps resist deformation under high boost and high combustion loads, maintaining bore shape and fighting ovalling in extreme horsepower applications.
Designed for serious street and motorsport engine programs, Magnus McLaren Engine Sleeves provide the foundation required when pushing well beyond factory limits. Magnus Sleeves are finish bored to final size so they can be replaced without any additional machining!
Features:
• Heavy-duty ductile iron construction
• Increased wall thickness for added rigidity
• Designed to retain bore concentricity
• Helps resist cylinder ovalling at high power levels
• Superior stability compared to OEM steel sleeves
• Ideal for high-boost and high-horsepower builds
Benefits:
• Improved ring seal
• Increased cylinder durability
• Enhanced long-term engine reliability
• Critical upgrade for extreme power applications
