Just wanted to post an update I did get another sleeve and it was a very tight fit into the block. For those of you that don?t know I cracked a sleeve installing and got a reliance sleeve and it slid all the way in by hand bottoming out so I managed to get a tisco sleeve and basically I had to pull it in all the way in with a threaded rod. I think I may have to hone the sleeve a bit to get the right piston clearance. What is the appropriate clearance for a 4? aluminum piston and thin wall sleeves? I didn?t really want to hone the block but I know they should have slid in like half of the way by hand but they wouldn?t is there any other problems I might face besides the sleeve being to tight on the piston now? Lord forbid I ever have to take these sleeves out but I?m sure where there?s a will there?s a way
