THOUGHTS ON SLEEVING?

Ag & tractor sleeves aren't anything like automotive sleeves... The bores on most Ag diesels are sleeved from the manufacturer... Automotive sleeves you need to machine the block to accept the sleeves..
Never said to use Ag sleeves- only to include shops that do Ag work in your search for a machinist. They can and will install whatever type sleeve is required, and often at a significantly lower cost.
