Interesting videos. Part 3 is a bit like my engine except mine has no sleeve, and perhaps more detail work…

Everyone is concerned about the Cleveland thin wall castings, but in this video, you would have thought they would have mentioned if they punched through the block? I guess there was no issue.

How thick are the sleeves, I wonder?

IIRC, there is a desirable minimum thickness of the cylinder wall on the thrust surfaces…. (After review of the post below… it is .080” minimum on the non-thrust surfaces, and .120” on thrust surfaces! Thanks, Rene!)

Anyway, nice review of the machining process.

They should have used a torque plate on top of the block when they bored out the cylinders…
