The little 4 cylinder flathead Continental engines did not have sleeves, but you must be able to bore them out. I have found Continental parts to be rather expensive up here (Canada) but the great thing is that those engines were in all sorts of agricultural and industrial applications. They came in 3 sizes, 124 - 140 - and 162 cubic inches. Whatever you come across, any of them are identical on the outside, only the piston diameter being different so they are fully interchangeable. They were also in Lincoln welders so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one to transplant, and I wouldn't be too afraid of a used one, as long as you weren't going to farm heavy-duty with it, probably just use it as an acreage or fun type thing. The engines are bullet proof. I did a poor-mans rebuild on a 124 cubic inch version from my Massey Harris 101 Junior and I used some of the rings from a Volkswagen overhaul kit that my neighbor had sitting in a box in his garage. It runs fine believe it or not. One of the exhaust valves needed a seat (replaceable), while the intake seats are not replaceable.
