Why couldn’t they just sleeve it? Like we’ve been doing for the last 80 years.

I dunno. I think it applies beyond cylinder linings, tho the article does specifically mention that application.

I know they do this on the 5.0 coyote motors when there new. Maybe there looking at a way to rebuild the current crop of motors cheaply. I’ve heard the coyote ain’t cheap to sleeve.

Is this just for their remanufactured crate engines and warranty repairs? Or are they looking to put these in brand-new vehicles, too?

The article says that it’s a process that’s being used on new engines currently, but Ford’s plan is to use it on used engines. Now, to what extent “used” the article doesn’t say, but I would assume vintage/rebuilt engines (as a separate service), warranty repairs (if this particular treatment is applicable to the scenario), and as a performance upgrade for crate engines.
Again, only my assumption.

you can run into problems with sleeving if there isn’t sufficient thickness between the cylinders. There is also the issue with differnt expansion rates of different metals.

Cool Though the process isn’t cheap. yet it could give a cost reduction in eliminating the need for a highly precise sleeves. Just clean, blast, and machine the surface.
It’s been done in the aircraft industry for decades.
One variation of the technology even has the nozzle produce shock diamonds.

kinja wont let me edit the benefit is that you don’t have to buy 4, 6, or 8 machined sleeves.

Yeah just found out sleeving a coyote isn’t cheap.
