Short Description: Restore your engine's compression and thermal efficiency with these high-quality bimetallic cylinders. Essential for rebuilding the heart of your Dnepr MT-11, these cylinders ensure maximum reliability and peak performance for heavy-duty sidecar operation.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Dnepr MT-11 (and compatible models)
• Manufacturer Code / SKU: MT801301
• Part Type: Engine (Crank Gear)

Purpose and Role in the Motorcycle (based on the original manual):
The cylinders are the core components of the engine's combustion process, housing the pistons and providing the space where the air-fuel mixture is ignited. These specific cylinders utilize a specialized bimetallic design, consisting of a cast iron sleeve for maximum wear resistance and an aluminium alloy jacket for superior heat dissipation via counter air-flow cooling. They are designed to be identical and interchangeable, featuring an annular collar for a precise fit into the cylinder head and a lower flange for secure fastening to the crankcase via anchor studs. It is time to replace these cylinders if the motorcycle exhibits excessive oil consumption (exceeding 0.25 liters per 100 km), significant loss of compression, or if the internal bores are scored, which prevents the piston rings from sealing correctly.

Benefits of Buying:

• Exact Factory Fit: Manufactured to precise specifications (78 mm bore) to ensure seamless integration with your original crankshaft and cylinder heads.
• Enhanced Thermal Management: The bimetallic construction prevents overheating and reduces the risk of engine knocks during long-distance hauling.
• Long-Term Durability: The high-grade cast iron sleeve provides a hard-wearing surface that extends the service life of the piston rings and maintains compression longer.
