Will do. I have measured the bore in my block, and measured the OD of my sleeves. Also measured my ring gap on the old pistons. My old pistons weren't worn much, a few were beat up from miss handling.
Honestly, I feel really bad for you. I know how much work, time and hard earned money goes into rebuilding this engine. I am in the process of doing the same. I have the LDS injector pump, ordered the LDS intake rockers. The heads are in the shop and I ordered an LDS piston /sleeve kit. I...
I was not aware of the different size sleeves until I pulled my sleeves out and was curious what the Z was for. Reading the TM I also discovered that a block can have both sleeves in it. So I checked all my sleeves to see if they all were the same designation, and they were.
It makes me wonder if maybe wildchild467 has a Y block and may have used Z liners. It would be a loose fit. It would seem like the sleeve would expand and give lots of blowby . Has anybody else ran into this, or have experience with it?
I am in the process of rebuilding my engine, I was looking through the TM for additional information. TM9-2815-210-34-2-2, page 142,
It's list's 2 different cylinder liners. Each liner has a different OD.
Liner Y OD is 4.7516 to 4.7520
Liner Z OD is 4.7511 to 4.7515
Anyone replacing liners...
I tore my deuce engine down the other day, I was surprised to find the 12 point rod bolts in it. The rebuild Tage said 6-1-98.
Did they start replacing the rod bolts back then?
