I read a "sales pitch" in the PAW (Performance Automotive Warehouse) catalog in which they said that you could re-sleeve all of your cylinders (ie big block chevy) and have them honed back to the original bore to exactly if not better than stock.

This was a company was advertising and their pitch was that since you block is seasoned, it will be better than a new block (providing that there is nothing else wrong with it).

Does this make sense? I know this is basically what is done with the aluminum blocks but can it work the same for the big iron blocks?

Thanks.

IF done correctly.... I have done industrial engines that run constantly. They get bored on each re-build till they can't get larger pistons. Then we sleeve them back to std. and start all over again..

The cast iron in the repair sleeves, is better material than the block.
