I chipped the cylinder on the 6cyl on bottom of the bore and I was wondering if it is salvageable? I was wondering i could get it sleeve on it and will affect my compression since it chipped near the camshaft. I'm trying to post pics but it's not loading so if you wanna see and tell me and i can send.
Chipped my cylinder bore

It al depends on the amount of damage and more than likely it won't even need to be sleeved just dress up a any sharp edges pictures would help to determine that. Being at the bottom of the cylinder it's also not going to have any effect on your cylinders compression since its below the ring travel. Good luck 
still not understanding U.
"chip"?
a score?, line 2 inches long? 2 mm deep? is it all w/in the piston travel? part in/part out?
May B how it wuz done would explain?
Sounds like a pass w/a:

Well Gem212, looking at those pictures that's a pretty good sized hole looks like it could of been caused by a conecting rod getting kicked out. A sleeve might fix it depends on the structural damage behind and the back side of that hole. What does the bottom of block look like in that area can you take some pictures of that? 
Bubba,if you have his pictures,why don`t you post them for him?Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

It's hard to tell lighting is low in some pictures of the bottom end shots, but I think that damaged area your seeing is the cam tunnel were it looks like a rod? Hit it. The Water jackets are on the other side of the block. Definitely needs a sleeve and maybe even some welding or brazing to build back the damaged area.
i believe the sleve is a machining then insert,
the weld is a lill more specalized as the block would B brought up to hi temp (400*?) 1st.
Good Luck, I think it;s swell you'd try'n save it.
Wht vehicle R U wrkin on?

Yes the old timers often repaired blocks by brazing or welding. Personally I have made these type repairs to many engines, and worked on many more that had these type of repairs done by others. Some repairs are done where you can’t hardly tell others are quite crude looking. If you plan to do this repair it should be done before any machine work or sleeving. If you get your engine dissembled the rest of the way take some more pictures so we can see all the damage. Depending on this you might not even need more than a sleeve. Good luck
