I have 4" sleeves in my M. Overbore I presume. I am re-ringing the pistons so I was trying to cut the ring ridge out. Here is where the trouble started. My ridge reamer didn't quite go deep enough to catch the bottom of the ring ridge. Didn't realize this untill I allready cut some off. After I realized the ridge reamer won't go down to the bottom of ring ridge I got out the micrometer again. It measured 3.9995" at the very top when I started. Now it measures 4.033" at the very top, 4.018" half-way down the ring ridge, and appears to be un-cut at the very bottom of ring ridge and measures right at 4". The ring ridge is very slight (pretty sure it is less than a .005" ridge). My question is, if I get the other style reamer that fits clear down in the cylinder and cuts from the bottom up and cut the rest of the ring ridge out, will I be O.K. to go ahead and use the sleeve? I presume the sleeve has a lip on the outside top that catches a groove in the block. How far down is that lip and how big of a lip is it. That is what I am worried about. That I might of cut the sleeve to thin where that outside lip is. I have never had a sleeve out of an M so I am kind of in the dark on that. Don't really want to pull the sleeve unless I have to. But I do know the ring ridge is deeper than I have seen on anything else. I bet it is about 1 inch down from the top. Any knowledge will be appriciated.

Bill, I don't think there is any problem if you get a ridge reamer that will take out what is left of the ridge. If you want I can send you a cross section of the M sleeve as I just pulled some out yesterday. The sleeves I pulled are done for anyway and I could send a section of one of them.

The sleeves I got in the tractor I am fairly certain are useable as far as wear in the piston travel. Will do some final measureing to make sure. I just don't need to have the sleeve to break apart at its own lip where (only in that spot) it is cut thinner. Could you by any chance measure, with a micrometer, the lip and tell me how far down it is from top of sleeve and the difference in thickness from outside of lip to the outside of the sleeve wall? If not, some rough measurements would help. Like 5/16" down and lip is as thick as dime or whatever it is. I know these sleeves are thin, but am like you, I think I am in the clear. I just want to double check everything before re-assembly. I am still a little shameful over this deal because I knew better. I was use to the other style of reamer and got this other style of one and never gave it much thought before I used it. Well anyway, I would just feel more confident of my work knowing that I checked it all out the best that I could.

Oh, I forgot. I did use the other style of reamer to cut the rest out. So I just need to pass the sleeve for inspection. And I am not to far away, N E Kansas. Maybe we can run the M's together when we get em going.
