Re: [FWDLK] Re-Building a 230 Cu. In. Flathead

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a sleeve for my Dodge Caravan throught NAPA but check with
the manufacturer
Micro Sleeve (http://www.microsleeve.com/) in Arlington, TX (800 475-3383)
They will be able to give you the NAPA Part number.  Do not even think about
instaling this without the installation tool. Believe me I tried. I thought
I could make my own tool because NAPA could not get the tool for a week.  I
ended up going back for a second sleeve and the tool and waiting the week
anyway.
