S&S cylinder life span
Anyone have any input on how long S&S cylinders will live, in terms of rebuilding?
As in how many times could a 110 cylinder be honed and reused so long as there isn't a catastrophic failure?
I have a factory 96" that had the S&S 110 kit with 89cc heads when I bought it. I've only had it about a month and it started blowing oil out of the breather, pretty heavily. Approx. 50k on it as a 110.
Found low compression on the rear cylinder (170) so I've got it torn down and the jugs at a well-known builder here in AZ.
The concern is that the jugs are already paper thin so he may or may not be able to hone them. Very slim chance he's going to bore .010" over.
Thanks!
