[DeTomaso] To sleeve or not to sleeve

[Dan Courtney]

Then the question becomes:Is it better to have a .030 block with one or two non adjacent sleeves or a fully sleeved block at original bore?I've been told you get heat transfer between cylinders on a Cleveland at or over .030.And we all know there's already too much heat in a Pantera engine.

   Then the question becomes:

   Is it better to have a .030 block with one or two non adjacent sleeves
   or a fully sleeved block at original bore?

   I've been told you get heat transfer between cylinders on a Cleveland
   at or over .030.

   And we all know there's already too much heat in a Pantera engine.

   Dan,
   Sleeving all eight cylinders is like putting eight plugs in a flat tire
   with one hole in it!
   If you have a block that needs one or two sleeves, you install one or
   two sleeves.
