Hi Stan,

Thanks for all the notes. So, there's still some strangeness going on... The two blocks definately have the same casting number -- verified it myself twice. That said, block A appears to have the larger bottom bore. The sleeves I've got are the 3-3 1/8 overbore kit...i.e. thinner walled sleeves to fit in the original bores.

About the only thing I can think of that explains everything is that the previous owner of block A bored out the bottom sleeves by 1/8" of an inch to fit the newer style sleeves. If that's the case, he either enlarged the O ring groove, used a smaller O ring, or just lubed it all up really good and shoved 'em in. (I suppose you'd be sure you'd have a really tight seal down there...)

I'm out of town for a few days this week -- talked to my machine shop guy over the phone last night, and he's thinking that we can just enlarge the bottom bore and squeeze the O rings. Once I'm back in town, I'm taking block A back over to him so we can do some more measuring with the blocks side-by-side.

In any case, I'll post again once we look into things in more detail this weekend.

(Is this stuff fun or what?!)
