- There are a few different sleeve types when it comes to repairing a block or setting up your engine for additional horsepower. Steve Morris of Steve Morris Engines discusses the different options and what he likes to do in his engine builds. This is Part 1 of a two-part video.

Thank you for this video. I have never rebuilt an engine in my life. That said, I pulled the engine from my Mercedes-Benz 560SL a couple of weeks ago and yesterday I finally removed the heads. That’s when I found deep scoring in one of the cylinders (car sitting 14 years). Not knowing what I was doing I panicked because of the scoring. But then I remembered that in the 70’s they put sleeves in VW’s so I started searching and found your video. I found they have sleeves for my 560SL! I have been documenting the entire car rebuild on my TH-cam channel. Thanks again.
Well explained, and well understood for my tiny prehistoric brain, thanks.
Whenever I watch one of Steve's videos yes I do learn something well explained 👏
Underrated video. Amazing stuff! Thank you.
This video is a light bulb moment i had a friend press in some sleeves and we couldn't figure out why the pistons wouldn't fit the bore anymore i was of the option that the block didn't need honing for dry pressing sleeve ..this a good one
Great video. Great information ! THX
Great video! Great information! As a machine shop owner please don't tell people to pound in repair sleeves with a sledge hammer! I made a fixture to pull the sleeves in place on a V8 and it also works for inline blocks as well.
Oh did you now? Need one for LS engines. Link please :D
Aluminum vs. other materials like cast iron have different thermal expansion rates. That .002" press fit would disappear pretty quick. Can the round sleeves actually rotate in the block when running?
I will be getting flanged sleeves on my 3.6 pentastar. I would think it is similar to that wet sleeve. Nice video
Edit: I will still have water cooling from block to head.
aww....i wish this was in HQ video.
Sweet just found this channel
Hi I’m in the Uk ,running a 400 block with B1 originals ,probably around 850bhp Iv had it lined ,lasted 5 seasons before crack returned , would you advise half block filling or not ? Only a quarter mile racer , thanks in advance
I'm going to admit I'm learning here, would it be worth welding up the crack and then boring the cylinder in the lsx block before the new sleeve goes in? Or is that just more trouble than it is worth?
I wanna build my lsx 427 and sleeve it. I wanna put some boost to it.
Hello Steve. Thank you for your channel I'm learning a lot and loving it. QUESTION how big can you sleeve a engine. PS under 1000hp for now at least lol. I have 104mm bore spacing and would like to fit 99.314mm pistons. Anybody that knows can also answer. I just want to know if I'm dreaming. If it's not possible at least I can stop thinking about it. Regards Rik
Hello Steve, just out of curiosity how many sleeves could be replaced in a Dart Little M over a course of time and have it still function properly?
great video. I just stumbled onto this video. I'm guessing your a well known engine builder? Keep up the good work.
Steve Morris , he has the current fastest drag week engine .
Mate - szenario - I got ma 2.5l 10.5:1 on petrol engine and soon work it up and fuel it with CNG, highering the compression to 13,5, whereas thru the lower volumetric efficiency of the CNG iam ending up with 5% less power but a way better environmental and economic outcome...
However, I want to set up a H2 engine using the same MPI and a 1.5 bar supercharger, getting it up to 20:1 compression you need for efficient H2 burn... however, thru the 50 percent lower volumetric efficiently, I still end up with 10% less power than the original 170 hp... what do you thing? I would put high temp high compression valves for sure, but would you also do something with the block? We get not more power, but compression more
i wanna rebuild my ISX CM2350 and replace the wet liners. Your method compatible to my application?
How much to Darton mid sleeve my ls2 aluminum 6Liter block with a 4.130 bore
Do you sell 454 short blocks 2 bolt ? I might need one like soon
After you sleeved the block did you stay with a standard bore?
How much do I need more the cylinder when u get the sleeves ?
Could this be done to a LFX motor?
Are sleeves safe? Im having my 1st gen 350 block rebuild but it needs to be bored to .60 over.
If it needs 60 over then you block is junked
Has anyone thought of or tried making it .003 gap and a thin coating on the outside of the sleeve with thermal paste?
No, because that would be stupid.
Meanwhile in my world id be happy with 500-700whp car.
I wouldn't care if my blocks were two inches longer.
I hate sleeves blocks are cheap enough to buy and machine
Aluminum blocks are not cheap. Thats why the resleeve.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP makes sense
blocks worth about $100 bucks maximum with a crack in it.
Say "salad" one more time. :D
Oh shit a Steve Morris knock off channel
Incorrect... Steve works with us to share his content on our channel as well.
@@EngineBuilder sure he does, lol there is alot of video theft on TH-cam it really is a trash can,
