Default Sleeves in a 427 side-oiler
Have an opportunity to buy a 427 side-oiler, well built, for 7K. It's currently .030" over. I've heard that this is about as far as one should go without sleeving it. My question is, what are the consequences of sleeving this block? Does it hurt, does it help? It won't need it for some time. The block has 1K miles since it was bored. Won't be racing and won't be exceeding 2500 miles/year.

Thanks!

John
