    Hopefully not but if it is, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Could also just bore it out, that'd make it good as new.

    Question on sleeves.. Are these used to repair a motor that was having piston scoring/wear issues? or can sleeves be used from the get-go for better longevity?

    A lot of your diesels are sleeved. This is not a bad thing. Makes rebuild simple and cheap. The original chevy diesel in there truck had a non-sleeved block and was a disaster.

    Typically I've only seen them used for wear/scoring issues. I'm not sure if the Mercedes engines are sleeved from the factory but it is worth looking into. If it was, makes my day a lot easier.

    Interesting. So my guess would be if they're sleeved from the factory, you can pull the old ones and replace the sleeves and it'd be like new?

    Exactly, That's how your big rigs get millions of miles on the engines.

    Aside from a general break down, inspection, and remove/replace defective parts, I think I'm just going to be cleaning it up and upgrading wherever I can. I haven't found out what kind of HP/BHP these engines are able to safely create but obviously I'd like to get as many ponies as possible out of it.

    Still learning.
