Sleeving a engine cylinder
Is it a safe practise to have a sleeve put in a cylinder to retain the original motor? Thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Sleeving a engine cylinder
Other than bad machining or setup, when can sleeving fail?

Don´t they sleeve some Nascar engines for added strength ? I was told this by a COPO-owner in CT.

Re: Sleeving a engine cylinder
I talked to the local engine builder in my area and he showed me some engines he has sleeved. He guarantees it will work fine and by the people on this sight I am much more confident of purchasing the 69 Z I have been holding off from buying until I could get a positive answer to sleeving the matching 302. Thanks again
