rritchey,
Thanks for the great reply.
What is the outside diameter of the sleeves used to sleeve a 427 down to a 428 bore size? (what is the interferance fit if any?) I.E., I would assume you don't have to weaken the block as much (Bore .110 over) to install them. Is there any down side as far as cooling is concerned if the cyl thickness is thicker than std due to this approach? And finally, do you have any experiance with the late Hemi and sleeves? I have one with a fresh .030 oversize. (no sleeves) one cyl has a nick a few thou deep, 1/4 '' long, almost horizontal in one cyl. it has a smooth edge. is this cyl condemmed, or would it survive o.k.? (it is an 11.75:1 street toy).... I bought it as I describe it. I can post a picture of the nick if it would help. Steven
