I know steel engine sleeves were standard on some engines. Some times they were called tin can sleeves or sheet metal sleeves. Does any one have a real history on what engines they were standard equipment?

I believe that they were on some 38-40 engines and were not used later.

Had a '40 Std. Coup back in the early-mid 70's that had the thin wall sleeves. Had to change 2 of them. What a pain to get the new ones in!

The V-8 Times did an article on the sleeves last year. I don't save my back issues but I'm sure someone can find it for you. It was very informative.
