kelowg Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 No sleeves that i know of. Maybe yrs ago or in other countries as a repair option. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Why do you need new sleeves? Block trashed? Just get another block. ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I don't think Ls are sleeved.. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Except for Triumphs and as a last ditch, saving the Chevy Vega engine block, cylinder sleeves are passe. It's a good idea but the market won't support such a thin demand volume. If you have a Million or so to waste, why not start a production line? Quote Link to comment

Wear is minimal and when indicated they are over bored and new over size pistons installed. You can rebuild at least two times. Quote Link to comment
