I thought these blocks had replaceable sleeves, but I'm often wrong. Nothing new there.
I've had a few engines built over the years, but I haven't had to tear them down and rebuild them. I guess I've been fortunate. So based upon my experience, maybe I should have gone the big bore route. Waiting for something bad to happen, twice, so that I can have the ability to overbore a couple times seems superfluous to me. At least now it does.
