Bought a used M off of an advertiser on this site. When I removed the tractor hood, I discovered the nuts for the valve cover were missing. Upon removing the valve cover, I found two valves hung up. One was easy to free up, the other would not free up after several days of soaking in penetrating oil. Removed head, decided to replace all valves as the existing valves had obviously been ground once too often. The engine had been re-sleeved for 4 inch pistons. Decided to glaze bust the sleeves as the cross hatch was gone and some light surface rust was present. After removing pistons, one of the sleeves was protruding about a quarter of an inch above the engine deck. A little wire brushing revealed a letter designation of "D" on three of the cylinders including the one that came out of the block. I can push the sleeve in with my fingers! I know this has been a controversial topic on this board in the past, but is it possible to knurl an engine sleeve in order for it to press firmly into the block??
