Thanks Jim,your extensive knowledge never fails to impress me. Sounds like that guy was correct and incorrect at the same time. Another great lesson.

I would rather sleves as opposed to traditional blocks that require to be bored out on reconditon. Also blocks are lighter, and frinction resistant material is used in the sleves. Thank god for technology.

aluminum blocks MUST be sleeved, otherwise the pistons would bind in the cylinders.
