Hi folks,
I've been working for a bit at overhauling an engine out of a 2N. The original block was cracked on between the intake valves and cylinders on #2 & #3, so I scrapped it out and bought a used block from eBay. After it came back from the machine shop (hot tank/Magnaflux and line bore for a new oil pump housing) I went to start assembling and found that the sleeves drop in the cylinders with a slip fit (.040" thin wall sleeves) and the valve guides fit loosely in the block. I bought the full overhaul kit from this site. I can possibly get oversize sleeves, or even have the cylinders bored out to accept .090" sleeves, but I'm not sure what to do about the loose fit of the valve guides. But at this point, is it worth it?
