A broken sleeve is a common result if starting a Knight engine that has sat too long without first properly freeing it up and getting it loose enough to run thoroughly. That often involves a significant amount of teardown and cleaning if not a full basic overhaul. I understand that it "usually" does not do serious damage to the rest of the engine, although it can destroy the mini crankshaft that performs the function of a camshaft in a poppet valve engine. Usually, the engines can be repaired after breaking a sleeve that way.

A full basic overhaul is very different on a Knight engine! I have never done one myself. However a longtime good friend has done a few of them. When he was done with them, they ran great! I got to see a couple of them apart at his garage.

 

How long is too long? Depends upon numerous variable factors, mostly quality of storage, condition of engine and oil when last run, dampness. Too long might be ten years or more? Or it could be only a few months.

The sleeve valve is such an exotic mechanical oddity today, I'm sure it puts people off who would otherwise be attracted to this hansom car. Too bad it looks like an ordinary flat head on the outside. The veterinary school at UC Davis used to have a cow with a glass stomach so students could watch it work. This car needs something similar!
