I know little to nothing about the LS alum blocks but I have seen a block that hurt a cyl and a shop bored the old sleeve out. As I understand these sleeves they are cast in place. It looks like the old sleeve and the block had thread like grooves in both. The sleeve they have to replace the old with is a regular sleeve. Smooth on the outside. What is the proper procedure for replacing a sleeve on this block?
Thanks
