Anybody on here running a sleeved 312? Any problems with over heating since the block was sleeved?

If done right there should be no problems. I am run my Model A on the freeway and all 4 cyl are sleeved with no problems.

As mentioned, if done properly there is no problem and it will be the strongest cylinder in the block. Do them all if you can afford it

I have done three over the years. I fit the pistons on the loose side. About .004 to .006. Never had a problem.

How does it do at slow speed and low RPM?
