F-12 engine rebuild progress

Seth Boyer · Aug 3, 2011

I got my customized sleeves back tonight. I've been trying to get in contact with a guy for over a month now to do these and never got a response from him. Lucky for me I got to talking with an older man that I've know for a while now but we never had really talked about what he did for a living. Found out he was a machinest and just retired this spring. Took them by his shop on Saturday. I could have spent an entire week hanging out at his place just admiring his tools and all the things he's made.
Starting to see this project going a little faster. Also got all my engine bearings, wrist pin bushings and a few seals today. Hope to have this running soon!!

I used a Super C overbore sleeve. So I now have a 3 1/4" bore compared to the 3 1/8" overbore which is avaible for that engine.

Did you get the block bored to fit those oversized sleeves? How did they cut the o-ring groove?

You dont take out that much material on the block and those i know didnt do anything to the o-ring grouve. I think you only remove 60thous so the o-ring will still work

There are 2 different o-rings for the 113 or 123 engines.
