No, no sleeves yet Chuck, so says the local machine shop anyway, I'll be sure to have them double check. It's been tanked, magged, and sonic checked so far. I left 4 blocks down there for the same treatment to see what I've got, this is the first one I have a report on.
Wow!!! You're gonna have $4-500 just in testing

And people wonder why a good, magged, good sonic checked bare 340 (or other) block costs so much, and why an untested greasey freshly torn down block that is "seemingly" a great core isn't worth much until it's been checked, your basic catch 22.
Now you know.

I know all too well how that goes. I had an R3 block that had the same issues. It was brand new and couldn't handle a 4.100 bore safely. I was pretty upset to say the least. Everyone told me It's a R3 block don't worry about it. Had it checked, it was junk to me
