    To sleeve or not to sleeve ?

    I have a few atc200 cylinders that are wore beyond their overbores. A few people have recommended not to run with a sleeve because it will cause "hotspot" problems. My thinking however is that this is not a high rpm engine and I just don't foresee a sleeve being that big of a problem. So.... I would really love to hear from some people who have run them as to any problems. I would also love to hear from people who have run sleeves without any problems. Thnx in advance

    Sleeves work fine. I always hear of people who think they shouldn't use them. I've never had any problems with cylinders that are sleeved.
