Re: Russianred's Turbo Build Thread! *UPDATED 3/23/11*
Thanks man, that definitely helps as an assembly tip! I am still concerned about more details regarding the shape of our OEM sleeves, so that I can get the closest to identical replacement sleeves pressed in. Interested in more input also on the mentioned 'thin spots' in our cylinder walls and how it would affect the sleeving or integrity of the block afterward.
My shop will be boring out the stock sleeves, and pressing in the thickest sleeves to preserve cylinder/block integrity, while allowing maximal wall thickness after retaining the needed center bore of 86.5mm. These are the details I am still trying to convince myself of, and find out more about. The end thickness of the sleeves we are looking at will be 3.2-3.5mm thick, after being pressed back into the casting and bored to spec.
