The coolant side of the new sleeve is where I have issues with a cracked dry sleeve block.

If the original block cylinder is machined away entirly, there will be no structural support on the deck, or lower block from the column strength of the casting. I can't imagine a good seal on the lower end either.

If the block is bored only to take a thinner sleeve, then relined with a real dry sleeve, my feeling is that the crack has not been stopped, nor is cooling even at the crack, and the corrosion in the crack could spread farther around the cylinder, and or leak into the oil side of things.

My opinion is that the only engine worth salvaging with desperate measures is a one off unique engine with extreem rarity.

I'd Find a good one before spending $ on something to worry about (even if it never goes bad).
