Cylinder/Piston liner brand ???

[FLAME CRUISER]

Can someone help me to find which is the best brand, material and dealer of "cylinder liner" / "piston liner" for my fj40, 4.2, 1980 gas engine....

Is it bored out so far that you need to sleeve it?

If so, the machine shop doing the work should have a good source for cylinder sleeves.

I personally would find a different 2F engine block or complete engine.

Oh, Welcome to Mud.

x2 if you have to line it better off with another block, It will cost just as much to line one hole as a good used engine.

If you must sleeve it, try the LA Sleeve Company. They'll either send up the correct sleeves for your mechanic to shrink in or they'll do it for you. L.A.SLEEVE CO.- Producer Of Quality Cast Iron Cylinder Sleeves & Liners Since 1945.

My mechanic recommended me to sleeve it cause here is over 105°F and cuting de cylinder wall oversized may cause engine overheating.
I only have found china and taiwan manufacturers, I have found a federal mogul too but just for suppliers...

There are plenty of 2F eninges that are bored .030 and even .040 oversize that do not overheat in the hot areas of the world.

.030 over is no problem with a 2f. finding domed pistons if yours is an early 80 might be the hard part.

since you are close to the border, try a US machine shop. the place that does local engine work here sleeves engines most every day. its just a cast iron liner. as long as its not porous, you should be fine...
