Sonny the Detroit engines are a beast all in themselves but are wet liners from the ports up. The thinwall liners Im speaking of are thin chrome plated wear liners,about 1/8" thick that press fit inside the block cylinder bores of small diesel engines..think a standard block,iron bore but a thin liner-(like a smooth tin can)-that presses into that takes the wear. A lot of people cant figure them out because for the most part they are a PITA to pull out. There are tools to do it,but most ive seen done just get torch heated and peeled out..you have to shrink the new liner with dry ice to get 'em installed.They have an interference fit,usually with a lip at the top that fits a recess in the top of the bore to seat them.Nothing at the bottom.
Jim the Volvo job you describe is standard cylinder liners you pull out.To get us back on subject I believe Gator's Komatsu is regular thick liners.
