I'm in the process of rebuilding a badly rusted Ford 861.
After pulling the new cylinder sleeves in the block (purchased the complete engine kit from YT) the sleeves closed up approximately
.002 of an inch. So now I'm using a hone (not a "glaze breaker") to bring it back to the .0015 piston to wall clearance as stated in the repair manual. Using a #150 grit initial cut stone, I have almost ground through a stone set and I haven't even gotten two holes done.
I have never seen sleeves this hard!
Anybody else run into this?
