Hello Don, he (Apple) mentioned that the sleeve would be subject to getting
out of round in case you would ever have a need to place the BMC in a vice
and place pressure on the cylinder thus causing the inside sleeve to become
out of round and rendering it useless.
Don't shoot the messenger on this.
