I guess I've been spoiled from agricultural equipment. The sleeves are much
thinner, come correctly sized and honed, and can be removed and installed by
the average farmer. Cheap to. A set of four sleeves usually costs about $100,
$200 if you want new pistons and rings, $250 if you want the gasket set,
$300-500 if you want a complete engine rebuild kit. This excludes John Deere
of course. :-) Those green machines cost a fortune to repair.
Thanks for the technical skinny. Always nice to hear from a machine shop on
the subject of machine shop work.
