Hole in block

I'm new at this so be gentle. Pulled sleeve on #3 cylinder and found a 1"x2" hole in the block wall. Will putting a new sleeve in, fix it?
 
It was running before torn down? If so put another sleeve in it and go. I have a Y block Ford engine 1 cyl is all sleeve and put sleeve in 7700 Ford tractors for pin holes.
 
bought it at an auction. #3 cylinder had signs of water damage "rusted up". Sleeve was worn quite a bit. Appears to have a blown head gasket.
 
I think a permanent repair would be to bore the existing block material for a repair sleeve, then bore that to fit the standard sleeve. JIm
 
(quoted from post at 13:12:00 06/27/20) I will look into that, thanks

Ask down on the "N"-specific Board.

There's MANY "N"'s driving around with a standard sleeve in a damaged block. Worst case would be if the damage is real near the bottom. other issue would be if the damaged area is damaged in such a way to compress the new sleeve at the edge of the damage.

Good idea to use Loctite sleeve retaining compound to seal coolant in place and retain the sleeve, though.
 
after looking closer, it mayleaked around the top between block & sleeve. Hard to tell. The hole start about 2in. from top between #2 and valve side
 
Shouldn't be too hard to find a good block. Trying to save something that has had that kind of trauma scares me!

Might get a good machine shop (if any in your area that are interested) to take a look, compare the quote with the cost of a good block.

Some on Ebay now.
