Installing Sleeves

Steve Tech Video - Installing Sleeves in LS and Big Block Chevy Engines.
You want to sleeve that block and save it or make it better?
In this Steve Tech Video I explain different types of sleeves and types of installations.

I just took an 18 minute course with Morris and didn’t have to pay for it amazing appreciate everything you do Steve

This needs to be a million subscriber channel. Great information and Steve presents it so well. I found this channel from VGG on drag week. Always been curious about the engine tech in the high HP cars, but could find any resources that really explained it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

It is so hard to believe that you are so willing to go so in depth and share so much knowledge? Not only that but you speak in a way that all can understand and don’t act like the most money spent is automatically the best!!!! I just want to thank you. Very generous.

Thanks so much for posting this stuff. I'm a youngish dude just getting financially set enough to really tool up and start pursuing alot of my passions. I've been building engines for about 11 years on the side and am a mechanical engineer by trade. Spent the last couple years learning and doing fabrication, Composite work, CNC machine work and fixturing.

I've had a goal since I was literally a kid to design my own engine platform and put it in my own car. I starting my current pro touring build as a practice run for the next project (the big one). Im two years into the fab and machine work on this build but its been probably 4 years since the engineering began.

The next builds engineering just started. Working on a midengine carbon monocoque push rod suspension deal and incorporating a stressed block design for my engine. I've studied the reher Morrison books, other local engine builders, but none are as open about some of the details you go into. It really is appreciated to a noob like me still paying the "tuition" of learning and failing.

Wow. Seeing is believing. Your SMX deck is so much stronger -- has the meat to be a beast.

[garnellwalls]

Thank you Steve for all your technical information. I have learn so much. Please keep you videos coming.

MAN STEVE WITH ALL THE HOMEWORK YOU HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU THINK MY DAD WAS A MACHINIST AND WAS CONSIDER A MACHINIST MACHINIST I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU EXPLAINING THINGS AND KNOWING MY DAD WOULD HAVE REALLY LIKED WATCHING THESE VIDEOS

This really brings back some memories from back in the day when I used to work in an automotive machine shop back in the early 80s. I was the cylinder head guy. ( Peterson TCM 25, Winona surface grinder, a Kwik Way SVSII high performance valve grinder, and a Sunnen guide home station )

I remember the block guy hated installing sleeves. We ended up making it a little easier by putting the block through the hot tank to heat it up and putting the sleeve in the freezer. It's amazing how much energy it takes to install a sleeve with just a thousands or so press fit.
On a side note Steve ended up building an engine for a buddy of mine, check out the Mach 1 Mustang owned by Steve Ayesh. I believe the car has went into the low 7's on small tires !!!

This guy knows so much about engineering. Listen and practice what he says. You be a winner.

Awesome series Steve. Very underrated & under-viewed. I have seen some third parties re-post your content with their channel branding over the top. I hope they have your permission to do so, it disappoints me to see your content getting more views and subscribers for someone else's channel when it is your knowledge and hard work.

New to the game but learning quickly. Old Dogs can be trained and Steve's expertise and common man's delivery of information is spot on!!

[honestspirit]

SMX !
All the way Steve….
A brute block with a killer design.
No wonder you’re the king of engines.
Thank you for the outstanding explanation of sleeve technique.

Another excellent video walking us through the technical steps of installing sleeves. Great information on what works and what doesn't, saving us time and money. Thanks again.

[shawnaraesmith]

This has actually explained something that I have been curious about. Great tutorial!

[georgewallace]

Yep I just learned something and realized this channel is excellent. Thanks Steve great job !

[Hogiewan]

Thanks for the very informative videos Steve! As a professor of cell biology, I appreciate method describing how these machines work and their critical points. I teach the same, so it makes learning this stuff easy

[FTGMotorsports]

You re the master - Best explanation of the risks with the Darton mids I have heard - great info - thanks!

[koutros]

Love your work Mr morris. Very talented human being.
Lots of love from down here in australia

[rosskrause]

This is IMO the best video I have seen on anything having to do with sleeves or sleeving an engine...the information Steve gives here in his genuine ability to explain things to where I can understand it is the best available..That SMX block is a true work of art at its finest.. looks like I will be here all day watching all of Steves videos available here..even the ones I have already watched !

[FullThrottleFirearms]

Its pretty crazy that you spread so much of your knowledge for free, I watch videos I think I know everything about and I learn something new every time. Keep it up man.
