[Fot] Different Tr3/4 sleeve design

[John Styduhar]

Hi Mordy, I like your design and the amount of material you have at the top
of the liner in case you want to shorten the liners. I wonder if the wire
groove would be interfered with after you cut the intake valve relief in
the top of the liner.  What sizes are you going to make?
