Am looking for sleeves for a UC. Currently am open to any solution including any combination of sleeves and pistons. Possibly maybe wi50 could or Dr allis can help. This a 318ci with a 4.5 by 5 stroke with wet sleeves.

I think you can get sleeves from Norm. Same motor as the U tractor and M crawler. Are you looking for new or useable?

I will have to look to see what I have, and what kind of shape there in. I think I have everything I need to build a 318, was gonna build a "puller" someday.

Al, I looked tonight and sorry but they are not as good as I thought. I would use them myself but I would not feel right about selling to someone. Outsides are pitted pretty good and some grooves on inside. Leon B MO

You might be able to have your sleeves bored 1/8" oversize and lightly press in a thin wall 1/8" sleeve to bring it back to standard size. Leave a ledge on the bottom so the sleeve insert can't ever fall into the pan.

Getting too late for the brain....bore the sleeves 1/4" oversize and press in 1/8" repair sleeves to bring it back to standard 4.500".
