I think a resleave will cost you about $100 + for the sleve which is pretty cheap given all the work you have been through. By the way all engine builders do not use nitrogen to install sleves. Many machine out the cylinder leaving a step at the bottom of the cylinder for the new sleve to rest on and to keep it from being pushed or pulled down into the crank. Then the sleve is then pressed into the cylinder and machined to the piston.

I personally think you have an abnomally with that cylinder and a sleve might be a good, quick, and fairly inexpensive fix.


Good luck with your investigation.
