Like the title says I have a buddy that handed me a V6 . aluminum block that he needs sleeved.
I have been a Mold maker for 11 yrs. so I think I have the ability to do it. The question is if I have the equipment to get it done and I know I don't have the know how yet. The travel on my machine is 40"x30"x24". I think I have enough travel but I dont think that is going to be the issue. This block is out of a Nissan 350Z and if I know him it will be either turbo or supercharged. I need to be right on. This machine has some wear in the ballscrew maybe .002 push pull test, so that is a concern.
In addition to boring what other machining processes are required after the sleeves are intalled?
I know this is a big undertaking, and I want to hear what the pros think.
P.S. The sleeves are Darton Wet Sleeves and are about 5.1" in lenth and have 3 different diameters.
