Cockchutt 30

Thanks for the prompt response guys. Is there any reason why I couldn't remove the sleeves and bore the block to fit 3 3/4 diameter pistons. If so, would I need to install a ring at the top of the bore where the flange was?
 
Larry, I had a wet sleeve tractor block bored to accept .125 sleeve stock that was 4" in bore. The "sleeves" were cut the appropriate length and driven into the block. I hard filled the block within an inch of the top and ran small block Chevy pistons, cheap and available. A good machine shop that understands what you're trying to accomplish can do this.
 
one of the weak points on these blocks are the webs found between the sleeves where the O-rings seal. there is not much there and a lot of them will crack there and make it extremely hard to seal. the sleeves have a lip and block is grooved for it at top which again makes the area between cylinder 1&2 and 3&4 a weak area and tend to crack. Usually a good head gasket will take care of that though. I guess what I am saying is you need to use a good shop and let them take a close look at what you want to see if it can be done. Irv
