Sounds good. What is the max bore the block can have to install sleeves? What is the proper size? Length? I have no experience with sleeving a block. Going to go measure my new stage block now for length.

Looks like the Stage block cylinders are 6" deep.

Nothing wrong with a properly sleeved block.

I am no expert but I do know a few fast motors that are sleeved. 1 word of advise do not cheap out on this, spend the $ on a very reputable shop to perform this job.

I would not be afraid of a block that has been properly sleeved.

My unused S2 block had a sand pit in the #2 cylinder. We sleeved it and I have run it now for 5-6 years. No problem. The block should be machined with a step at the bottom of the bore to retain the sleeve. You can usually see the step if you look closely.

Nothing wrong with sleeved block as long as the job is done right.

All the bores of a TA Aluminum block are sleeved.
