Rear Cylinder
Got the rear jug off. its beautiful inside. it is also .01 over bore. I dont see a more size on the front piston. They do seam to be a matching make of piston. I’ve got a call in to a local (ish) machine shop, that comes highly recomended by Hawg, for a sleeving and boring to match out the cylinders.
Got a quote for the repairs to the cylinder.
- $275.00 for Sleeving
- $320.00 for pistons, rings, boring and labor
- $650.00 for valve job. Assuming parts are all good.
- $50.00 for gaskets to put every thing back together
- $1295.00 To put Marlin back on the road.
you probably don’t need a valve job, and that price is outrageous- you could do it yourself if it is necessary. sleeves may be about right, pistons sound real high- search online for new matched pistons and cylinders
Match sets of pistons range in price from 150-300. forums say sleeving price is in the 200-250 depending on your region, this is CA so 10% more is normal. There is oil in the intake manifold and on the cylinder side of the intake valves. Besides Valve job is a maybe. Theres no question the cylinder and pistons need replacing.
