Ok, so I own a 1999 SVT Contour that needed machine work done to the block when I bought it. I want to restore this car with the original engine as it is pretty much stock with almost nothing missing. The kid that owned it before me blew up cylinder 1 to smithereens and the one cylinder needs to be resleeved. But the guy at the machine shop bought an off the shelf sleeve and when he went to bore out the old one there was still old sleeve material left. He is afraid that if bores more or does anything else that he might ruin the block and asked me to see if anyone else has had this issue before and knows how much more he can go.
I did a quick search on the forums but couldn't really find anything about how far you could go on a stock 2.5 SVT block, also my crankshaft is unusable does anyone know if I can throw in a standard Duratec 2.5L crank into an SVT or are they different?
