Following on from engine rebuild from pcp20us.
The sleeve was a stubborn bugger, i ended up cracking the sleeve so ended up carefully removing the rest of it.
Here are pics of the sleeve seat, ( view is from the top looking down into the cylinder bore)
I am wondering if the seat is ok, there are a few bumps as you can see in the photos, at about 9 and 11 am.
I have read that you should not use copper sealant with these, will the new copper gaskets?? for the sleeves fill any imperfections between the sleeve and the seat.
Thanks for the help
