I have seen a couple of posts recently looking for Oliver 60 sleeves. I am in the process of rebuilding a 60 and had the same problem with worn out sleeves. I found a manufacturer who will make me new sleeves, but I would love to order more than 4 for cost reasons. Any folks out there interested in new sleeves? Post here or email me and we may be able to get some made for a reasonable price.

Regards, Tip

Any idea if the sleeves are the same as in a 70? If you could put together a piston and sleeve set for a 70 for reasonable $$$, I think there would be a lot of interest. Trying to find a "good" shop that could bore out sleeves is a hassle.

One other comment on sleeve and piston sets. With the newer popular higher horsepower truck engines are you awear that when you buy a new set of sleeves and pistons with the 2-piece pistons, they are exchange as they use one of those two pieces again. Happy new year! J

The sleeves are not the same as a 70. Also on the piston for the 60 you need to use an existing piston and refit the rod or you are going to need to hone out the piston bore for the same size pin as the 60 and throw the new pin that came with the piston away. define reasonable money: Also if you prep the block why is it a hassle to bore the sleeves? True boring the sleeves by themselves will take a jig. If you have the block ready it is not any more of a problem than boring a 4 cylinder (60) or 6 cylinder(70) inline engine

Reasonable cost for a good piston & sleeve set, in my opinion, would be between $600 & $800(sleeves, pisons, rings). What I meant by my "hassle" statement is that finding a good shop to do the boring is a hassle. I have had way to much stuff messed up because of incompetent machine shops. Given my past history, I could just imagine going through the effort to take everything in, pay for the work to be done, get everything home only to find out the bores are out of spec. Then I would have to load everything back up, go back to the shop, and argue that the job wasn't done right....I think you get my point.

It would be very nice to have a reasonably priced sleeve set that I could buy and drop in. And if when I inspect the parts they are out of spec, I just box them up and send them back.

If you've got that many troubles with any shop, I'd hate to live in your area. I can think of a few good engine machine shops off the top of my head in my area, and I also work at a machine shop. We don't touch engines, but we get the occasional flywheel that needs to be faced off some.

There is one shop in particular that I bring my stuff to, Appleton Crankshaft, they aint cheap but they completely stand behind everything that goes out of their shop. Most other shops do as well, even if it ain't completely their fault.

Ya, me and my motor buddies are at a loss. If it's anything more complicated than micro polishing a crank, we don't have a reliable source close by.

Maybe I will give the place you recomended in Appleton a try(I'm in Madison). It's a little bit of a drive, but it's worth it to have the work done right. My guess is if they charge more and are still in business, they must be doing something right.

I've got 2 brothers sharing an apartment down there, one is going to UW school of pharmacy and the other is in sales, just got another new job after being with Century Insurance for a year or 2. Didn't like how they did business so he got out.

I guess up here is more racing country so there are a few more good shops.

The number for Appleton Crank is (920)739-2000.
Dave and Dave are both good guys, been doing it for longer than I've been alive I think.
