Wet sleeve explained
here is a video on wet sleeve vs dry. it also depicts the importance on maintaining coolant integrity. 8v92 6v92 and series 60 are wet sleeve the kubota gensets are drySleeved.



the two stroke V92's have intake/exhaust ports on the side of the sleeve and require more sealing surface . minor pitting near a seal on the waterside can let the seal go. and dump coolant in the oil.




cylinder sleeve video



The FC and SP 3208's have not a sleeve so a single cylinder inframe is not possible.some call the 3208 'throwaway engines' becauseit is always completly rebuilt at the failure of one cylinder wall (3208's are notorious for waterjacket issues at one cylinder so coolant integrity is as important).problem with a sleeved engine is once your engine looses coolant you cant tell how compramise all the other seals are and a total rebuild is prudent. kinda think that is why private coaches are rebuilt more often than just repaired
