RE: Different application but right theory.

I only bring this up since it's hard to say what's being done by a factory using today's production techniques has some application to our old iron. You are absolutely right, Peter, but I just wanted to put the sleeve in perspective for the period of the block.

Before special race blocks, it was common to take a perfectly fine block and sleeve it. The sleeve is far more stable than the cast bore and bore stability is a good way to maintain good, round bores for ring seal.

As long as the job was done right (and how would you know that unless you knew who did the job) a sleeved block is fine.
This thread, so far...
