Cylinder Liners

Sometimes the biggest problems that come with owning a boat can happen because of the simplest things. If a cylinder liner is failing, the entire motor could be quickly damaged. Experienced marine mechanics like those at Marine Diesel Specialists in Fort Lauderdale can diagnose and replace this inexpensive part before it causes trouble.

What Are Cylinder Liners?

Cylinder liners are marine parts that are found on every vessel with an engine. Also called cylinder sleeves, cylinder liners are placed between the cylinder and the piston rings and piston skirt and serve to lessen the wear and tear on the cylinder.

Most cylinder liners are made of metal such as cast iron, nickel-chrome, or cast steel. There are many types of cylinder liners to choose from, and no matter your brand of engine, the MAN engine maintenance specialists at Marine Diesel Specialists can make sure you select the right one.

What Can Damage a Cylinder Liner?

Whether you use your boat frequently or occasionally, there are many things that can damage a cylinder liner. The basic functions of your boat’s engine produce friction that leads to wear and tear. Additionally, because most cylinder liners are made of metal, they are prone to rust and corrosion. Other things that may damage a cylinder liner include improper cooling and faulty installation by someone who is not a professional like the MAN engine maintenance specialists at Marine Diesel Specialists in Fort Lauderdale.

Marine rebuild specialists are best equipped to inspect and replace all types of cylinder liners. Don’t neglect these important marine parts and let an otherwise simple repair turn into a costly and complicated job.
