Original engine sleeved: is it still good?

[Pantera]

Look close at the bottom of the cyl that have the sleeves. The sleeve should not be the same dia as the original bore of the block. The sleve should be seated against a ledge of sorts left when the block was overbored for the sleeve. there should be at least a 1/6" or more smaller dia of the bottom of the cyl. as compaired to the OD of the sleve at the top of the block. The sleeve would be faced off (machined smooth) at the head gasket surface after it is inserted and seated against the bottom ledge in the bore.


A good pair of sharp pointed (tips) dividers will allow you to determine this.
