Ok, here is the skinny. I am putting JD sleeves in a Oliver 88 block. They have been turned down to a 4.550 OD, .150 thick. There is no step at the bottom, fashioned after traditional hand-set sleeves with o-rings.

Question: should I have a o-ring cut into the sleeve ans use o-ring?

Could I simply use high heat silicon as a sealer without the o-rings?

Anything else I could use to seal?

Just to stick up for the original guy. Most "reputable" machine shops don't know $hit about tractor pulling, much less how far you can push the envelope. Any good shop can do machine work, but let's face it, everything we do is custom and out of the ordinary. You could be a lot more help to this guy if you could point him to a reputable (tractor pulling) shop instead of just shooting your mouth off.

I use 4 5/8 2290 sleeves in my DC turned down to .137 thick, Two 1/16 orings in grooves on the sleeve work nicely for me. mEl

I would have the block machined for O-rings. If you machine the sleeve that is .150 for a .125 O-ring, your gonna have problems. Robert Sox in SC can cut the O-rings in the block. I am not sure who else does it. I have heard of people just using sealer, but if there is room, block o-rings would work best.
