TEG, please understand by no means was I questioning the soundness of your decision to sleeve. Yes, without a doubt new metal for the rubber gaskets to slide over will ensure leakfree operation. I was just pointing out I have never seen one bad enough to require it. A slight hone of the bore brings new clean metal to light and works as well. As many know, I am realy a TA guy and quite possibly misplaced on this thread. But, our 1970/71 Masters are identical so the diuscussion is valid. My 1970 which is a driver, is driven at least 300 miles per month, a bunch for one of these old cars. My guess is most restored cars don't get this much use in a year. I finished this car 2 years ago and I have had no leaking and/or depreaciation ov breaking ability.. But yes, without a doubt, sleeving will work. But a hone of the bore achives the same result...new smooth metal for the primary and secondary pistons' rubber "o-rings" ,really gaskets but sort of like o rings, to seal to. So please do not take my comments as questioning your decision. It wasn't meant as such..

No offense taken at all! (Inset beer glasses clinking). I respect all approaches and if you have had good luck rebuilding these without resleeving, that is great. If its not necessary and you have had good luck, why spend the time and money. You are right. I will be honest, there are plenty of things that I did do over the last 5 years and I wish I would have questioned the necessity. Alternative views/information is important.

I will have a 69 TA in my garage someday.

Yes the 69 TA... I have horrible memorys of my experiences with the 69TA's.. In '91 or '92 I decided I wanted a 69 TA. Started looking. Turned down two ,one for $10,000 and one for $12,000.They were both 4 speeds numbers correct cars. Just needed full restos. At that time, I didn't have the time to restore one myself and didn't(and still don't) trust anyone else to restore one for me. So I turned them both down because of too much a project.. Man oh man... if I had only bought these two cars and put them in my barn at the farm... Yes, bad memorys of "the one(well actually 2) that got away!!
