Beagles68 There is a special proceedure for sleeveing the motor. Ask the machinist to tell you how he is going to do it. Bore the motor out with a head plate on and torked to spec. Leave a self down at the bottom of the cylinder. Cut the bore to .002 of the sleeve. MAKE SURE THE MOTOR is at room tempature. Put the sleeves in the freezer and chill. Seal the bottom of the bore with pipe glue. Put sleeve in motor. Mill top of block after all don. Put head plate back on and tork to spec. hone cylinders for pistons. I think this is correct. Ask George Anderson at Gessford machine. Double check I want to give the right info. I have not done this kind of work in 25 years. Rick Lake
