Now if i was doing it i would have the block bored and install a repair sleeve and bore to fit the loose one as they should be a press fit not had fit . Now as the guy with the 460 diesel that had one that was a hand fit yep they will end up in the pan every thime and when doing a rebuild on a 6 cylinder gasser or diesel on the the top of the block you will see a stamping of either A-B or C-D this the BORE class of that hole and the kits you get from after market only fit A-B class holes and if ya use them in a C -D hole they will be loose and will find there way to the pan and yes some guy will use LOC TIGHT but i won't as the heat from the engine can melt the LOC TIGHT and then if i am doing the engine and a sleeve comes out WHO gets to fix it again at my expence . If a sleeve is loose i either get the correct sleeve or bore and re sleeve to fit and then you are done with it .
