Sleeving 340 for a Stroker kit

Newbomb Turk said
Ok, I’ve set several hundred sleeves, probably closer to 500 and you never leave the sleeve proud unless it’s a sleeve with a hat on it.

The block the OP has doesn’t need a sleeve with the hat.

Edit: here’s the issue Steve. You don’t have a clue when you jump in a thread and talk about leaving the sleeve proud.

The OP does NOT have an aluminum block, nor is he using a a sleeve with the flange (hat) on it.

I get that you are rightly proud of your son but posting **** that is absolutely irrelevant to what the OP is asking just gets **** in people’s head. And then it needs to be corrected.

Just like right now.

So when someone asks about setting sleeves in an aluminum block then you can talk about protrusion.

In this case it’s wrong to even go there.

Can anyone ever give some Information on a thread for conversation without criticism. I am sure the OP doesn't have an aluminum block 340.. I was just giving all some info that not even you knew.

This was your quote ending in "ever" wasn't it

"You don’t leave the sleeve proud on a block that take a straight sleeve. Ever." Well I guess you are wrong with "ever"

I am 70 years old and I myself am still learning. I would believe Steve before anyone . He installs sleeves in many different engines I have seen with outstanding results. Nitro/top fuel, Methanol, Aluminum Hemi's and the Chebies. After welding the blocks back together.

Steve is always surfing this site but never comments. He told me he doesn't have the time in the day for some of the nitwits so he leaves it to me. I have all the time in the world . LOL

Maybe this will help you relax. Lay back and have a cold one.
