18hp exhaust port sleeve
So you guys removed these sleeves that are pressed into the exhaust ports? I can't imagine it doesn't restrict flow...

Re: 18hp exhaust port sleeve
Why would they burn up?Diesels even run Aluminum pistons and heads with 3-5times the compression of gas-engines and exhaust-temps up to 1200F @ the turbo.Aluminum is alot more durable than people think.

Re: 18hp exhaust port sleeve
They may have added them to help exhaust heat get out into the exhaust instead of transfering to the heads and block,considering the low-speed and load of an application such as a mower.
