Is 1/8" suitable as a wall thickness for a press fit wet sleeve?

Gas or diesel? Bore & stroke? Rod length to stroke ratio? Rpms? Turbo charged? Type of sleeve material? Long or short piston skirts? 3/16" will deflect less and allow better ring seal.

I would still go with the 3/16 as the HP difference e due to airflow from going 1/16" thinner wall is negligible. However the HP maybe more than made up with less blowby. 1/8 would likely hold ok however with an engine of that configuration. If you look down the bore while the boring bar is turning. you can see a 1/8 sleeve distorting as the tool cuts. A 3/16 flexes much less. If the wet sleeve is grouted in with dry deck/dry block then 1/8 is fine.

I have never "grouted" any of my engines and have gone even thinner becuase of space in the block ,all with very good results.But, buickdeere, I would like to know what this proccess is if you could drop me an email as I am always open to different methods for sealing.Thank you.
