When i purchased the block the sleeves were .003 above the deck. Best Machine decked the block, but i have no way of knowing if they reset the sleeves before hand. Doesn't mention it on the receipt and they are no longer in business. The sleeves in this block only have a .001 interference fit, so they move easily with temperature changes. I should be ok, i'm just being mindful of the situation. I now understand the French gentleman in the video had that block polished and the block was recleaned after, heating the block and allowing the sleeves to move. Steve missed it and they had that sleeve drop issue.
