Hester puked her guts

memike, It's hard to tell since the engine is still in the car. All I know is there is about a 4 inch hole in the bottom of the oil pan. :angry7:

805, What do you mean "did I have it built"? The machine shop did the sleeving and balancing, but I put everything together. If you want to try it yourself go back to the PM I sent you and add one important detail. The bottoms of the sleeves are an interference fit in a .125" deep counterbore and I poured 1/2" of block rock in the water jackets. The finished bore size is 3.7" and the outer diameter of the sleeves is 3.95". They should be plenty strong enough since they are the same thickness and material as Top Fuel engine sleeves. I got the head gasket from Cox Brothers and it is .040" compressed thickness copper.
