The perils of linered cylinder barrels or how to loose your head
Obviously the owner is now looking for parts to rebuild the engine.
The drive side crankcase is broken beyond repair and the barrel.
The head will need a weld repair to the exhaust stub.
Even the 3/8 head bolts are broken.
Looking for a pair of crankcases (any model Sloper) or at least a drive side half. I can match up an a mismatched pair.
A usable barrel +60 max.
Any help with parts will be greatly appreciated.

Terrible news Paul...Clive told me about it, but glad the rider was unscathed.
I cannot even see the barrel base in these photos....did that also end up on the road?

What a shame, the guy must have been a little disappointed to say the least.
However, as ever, help appears to be at hand!

There is a lot of heat color on the liner and barrel.Looks a bit more complicated than a simple breakage.John

Pretty dangerous situation. Far too common. People who do sleeving sleeve should be aware of the lack of strength in boring a cylinder out that far to take a sleeve. The sleeve itself will not carry any load . You need at least 3 mm remaining thickness and I wouldn't be too happy with that. Nev
