I’m going to look at a couple of 8BA blocks tomorrow for a rebuildable core. The guy thinks he has the main caps but hasn’t located them yet. How big of a problem is it if they are missing?

Second question: one block has reportedly been sleeved. Would this interfere with boring it to 3 5/16? I plan to use a 4” Mercury or Scat/Eagle crank... thanks! Ken
