It looks like i need to do an overhaul on my wd45. On this site they have several kits, some depending on the type or model of engine. It seems they all are over sized. Can you go back with the orignal size sleeve? All i thought i needed was sleeve's and rings and bearings. What do i need to do??? Any help would be appreciated

A lot depends on if you want to keep your original 6 Volt electric system... The 4 1/8" standard kit for the WD and WD-45 will spin to start OK... If you want more power, and use the D-17 kit with 4 1/8th" bore and 7.4 to 1 Compression, you will end up changing over to 12 Volt to get the engine to spin when starting...mine would only turn over on ONE cylinder per starting attempt..!! With 12 Volt..it starts in sub-zero temps like it is "Summertime"..!!! FWIW Ron.

Thanks Ron and Jim... when going from a 4 to 4 1/8 , it that where the 1/8 is or do you have to bore the block? I've already changed over to 12 volt... thinking of doing the d-17 kit also

The 4 1/8th" sleeves are a direct "drop in"..no boreing is required... Go for the D-17 kit with 7.4 to 1 compression if you want the greatest power increase, but I have seen the WD-45 kit give just as much power..it does have less compression..

Ron..

Raymond the over sized sleeves are same o.d. as standard you can use either but can't mix such as put one over bore and rest standard. as for the rest of engine you need to know if bearings are std. or under size if you haven't done much of this type of work you might want to take crank and have micked to check for out of round and taper and undersize. you will need to check valveguides and valves and have valve job done
