Default Re: Removing ridge from cylinders

Those tin can sleeves were designed to be replaced at each overhaul just like a tractor engine. I imagine quite a few Ford dealerships in larger communities had all the stuff to do that job. There may have been overhaul kits available for them as well.

A person may be able to find some NOS tin can sleeves out there but you also have to have the installation tooling. Not so many folks have that stuff these days. Even if you freeze the sleeves, they usually won't go all the way in. I'd say someone who really wanted to put those type sleeves back in there could do it but it will take some effort just to get the stuff together and it won't be cheap. I don't mind using sleeves in the old Ford tractors but they use a thicker wall sleeve and the tooling is available for them. Kits are readily available too.

It would be a lot easier to get them out of there and get the .083" OS P/N E120-8 Egge pistons.
