I sent dctom an email regarding your question, hopefully he will have an answer. Does the head have any recesses in it that compensate for the old sleeves that protruded from the block? If the head has a flat surface where it sits over the upper lip on the the sleeves (or you can have it milled flat) and the sleeves are flush with the block, it seems as if the head gasket should be able to compensate for the 2 thousanths difference? I would be tempted to coat the head gasket with that copper spray stuff and try to get it to seal before I spent a small fortune having the block machined.

Glen, we had very same issue with our dc except sleeves were actually 2 or 3 thou below casting. We ended up with coolant in oil. We did exactly what Paul D suggested. You need to remove engine to do this. Expensive and lots of work. Hardest part was removing bolts from block

I have never had to shim sleeves in a dc block, So I asked my dad who is a teacher for ag mechanics at a local tech college, he said if you can get shims you can shim it the best sugestion he had was to get the block surfaced and then have the counter bores of the block machined for the correct sleeve portrusion. Bruce Nelson is a case buff and ex automtive machinist, he might have a better idea if you can find him on this site.

This topic has come up on this discussion board before, but I don't remember what the answer is? I'm sure dctom or Don L. ([email protected]) knows the answer.
