Going to be overhauling the engine on a 7700 soon. No problems with coolant in the oil, just tons of hours and blow by.From my research of the archives it seems the best course of action is to bore for thick sleeves and bore the sleeves back to standard. Are the sleeves needed specific to the ford engine or are they a generic sleeve that the machine shop will procure? How thick is a thick wall sleeve as opposed to a thin wall? Anything else to be considered that I might be overlooking? I worked at a Ford tractor dealer in the 70s but was gone before the any of the porous block problems started.
