[SEL] bore and sleave an engine question

[John Hall]

Around here automotive machine shops are getting few and far between but if 
you have a good one, boring and sleeving an engine back to standard 
shouldn't be a problem. We had a tractor engine done this way many years 
ago. It's not an antique either but a workhorse. Several hundred hours later 
its still going strong. We did install new pistons.

Just my $.02
