The block had problems that required a rebuild. Tom Keeter rebuilt the block but did not bore it. He put in the two sleeves. I took out the freeze plugs last night and there is black RVT between 3 and 4. Those cylinder walls are touching and sound thin and hollow when I tap on them. Those are sleeved. It is possible that the problems that the engine had were as a result of being bored to 4.310.

The other cylinders have .200 between them. The pistons are custom Diamond pistons job number 56661. I confirmed with them that hey are .080. The real crime here is that my buddy was taken advantage of by who ever built it for him the first time, then the second guy wasn't smart enough to just through the block away. I know he has a lot of money in this mill and now I do to and the ones the profited were the crappy engine builders!
