Right now the engine is out of the car. It has a repair on the passenger side where a rod went through it a long time ago. On the drivers side, the bolt tab for the lower bellhousing is broken off with a makeshift tab welded in it's place. The heads are out being tested and tomorrow the engine block goes out. Sleeving is about $150 per cylinder. The pistons are TRW .030 and appear to be used. I won't make any decisions about which way to go but I'm hoping to salvage the engine one way or the other and put new pistons in. Won't know until tomorrow the condition of the crank, cam, etc. The cylinder that was leaking water is one that had a sleeve in it already. It looks like three of the cylinders have sleeves. I drove it to the shop in 95 plus weather and it stayed at 190.
