This is where they lost me, They will bore the bad hole out, press the old sleeve in (which is already too small) then bore it out again to accept the good new sleeve! Crazy! Just crazy! This is what I mean I cannot be the only guy who has ever went through this and it should be simpler. I also found some places that make custom sleeves and I guess I will have to mic it out and send the specs to them and see what they want to make one.
Plus now reading the replies here, if it was not a family tractor I"d scrap it out rather than go through the frustration of how to do one sleeve! Yes its all my fault, like I said I should have left well enough alone and got new pistons and rings, and honed the old sleeves.
Thanks for all your replies!
