Hey everyone quick question that I’ve been wondering and can’t seem to find the answer or decide firmly on correct procedure.

On a wet sleeve motor like the 226 engine if my surface had enough pitting
or gouges/scratch’s that I would want to deck it how is that done with
the wet sleeve system.

Would you install sleeves then deck it to still allow some protrusion so deck block an extra 2-5 thousands to
allow the sleeve to stick out that amount or just deck them both the
same or sleeves flush with block.

Also is it possible to deck block without sleeves and then bore counter bores. I assume if this was
done wouldn’t it throw off the location of the o ring seating surface
from the sleeve to block.

Thanks and any info would be appreciated. I just wanted to know if I ever decided or needed to re
sleeve this motor for any reason and the block was decked say 8-12
thousands would
The new sleeves need to be cut or shaved? What is the process involved in decking a wet sleeve?
