Well the dimensions are clear but not the question. What exactly do you want to know wrt those sleeves?

My guess is you won't just pop the old ones out and new ones in but you never know.

Good luck,

I rebuilt a 9n that had been running oversized pistons in a bare block with no sleeves. To make sure we removed all the damage I bored it out and used the .125 wall melling sleeves. It turned out real nice. I will see if I have the part number when I get home.

I think I would have stopped at .090 wall thickness and used stock Ford sleeves to facilitate future rebuilds if needed...

In any event the Melling part numbers for 3.1875 bore x 6.5" OAL sleeve are:

CSL205 - unflanged, .125 wall, unfinished bore
CSL105F - flanged, .095 wall, unfinished bore
CSL301F - flanged, .040 wall, pre-fiished bore
CSL304F - flanged, .090 wall, pre-finished bore

Yea, that is what you said last time you commented
on my sleeves. I guess it comes down to block
condition. I didn't do it for sport

Just hard to imagine that much wear. The .090 wall sleeves are .100 larger than the OD of .040 wall sleeves. They must have run the crap out of the unsleeved engine to generate more wear than that. I would imagine it sounded like a cement mixer ;-)
