If you have several cylinders to reline, it's easy to make an alignment fixture that plugs into the tailstock that's a slip fit in the bore- - - -then adjust the 4 jaw chuck with a "last word" dial indicator to keep the hole on center. Then use a carbide tipped boring bar to open up the cylinder for a pressed-in sleeve. Bore and hone the sleeve to a finish diameter. Setup time for the first one is probably 75% of the job. Jerry
