There are no boring bars! lol
Yes,
But how would you know if it's done properly.
Not all Boring Bars are the same, as well as the operator.
Do you know the difference between an 'old' Van Norman Boring Bar,
a Kwik-Way Boring Bar and a Rottler Boring Bar.
I've never had to sleeve a motor, but I agree with everyone else, it's ok. Just curious, though, why people don't put 340 sleeves in a 318?
'Cause he's too far to bring it to you?
All my work block work is done on a Rottler F86A, by guys I've been dealing with for almost 20 years. The same machine does about 150 import blocks a year with interlocking sleeves. That's how I know it's done right.
"Your results may vary...lol"
Diesel tractors are sleeved
old gas powered tractors are sleeved
semi trucks are sleeved
construction equipment are sleeved
some people forget their sleeves at home
I was under then assumption that ALL diesels no matter WHAT they're in are sleeved! I don't recall EVER hearing of a non-sleeved diesel!
As for sleeving a V-8 as long as the machine shop doing it is a good one and knows what they're they're doing and you know this to be true not self-claimed by the shop, you'll be OK.....
The new Hellcat Hemi's ARE sleeved 6.4L, 392's. (And this is from the factory!)......So I'd say that sleeves are OK....It comes down to the machine shop you have doing the work!
