A sealer such as Loctite 518 is applied to the bottom third of the cylinder to keep it in place and to prevent oil from migrating up between the bottom end of the sleeve and the block. Anything that gets between the sleeve and block (be it oil, carbon deposits or even air) can interfere with good heat transfer. With water-cooled cast iron blocks, the general recommendation for installing dry flangless sleeves is to use about .0015Ë to .002Ë of interference fit.
Golfer's vasculitis. Golfer's vasculitis, exercise-induced vasculitis and hiker's rash, are names proposed by different medical researchers for a form of vasculitis resulting in a purpuric rash (bleeding from underlying tissues). It is often experienced in the lower legs caused by excessive exercise in hotter temperatures.
Vasculitis is inflammation (â-itisâ) of blood vessels (vasculum = vessel). Inflammation is caused by white blood cells attacking something in a tissue. When â-itisâ is at the end of a diagnosis, it means that swelling is involved in the disease. There are many different causes of vasculitis. Some vasculitis is caused by infection of vessels (as in Rocky Mountain spotted fever).
