M113k sleeved block & pistons
Hello, I still haven't received a very accurate answer to my search.
I will start assembling the engine with the M113k sleeve block soon.
But before I start ordering a forged piston for a few thousand, which according to the description is intended for a sleeve engine.
So far, I have not found any information that excludes the fact that the original M113k pistons cannot be used in a sleeve engine.
I know and have talked to many people who claim that the thermal expansion of the pistons of the original Alus block is unacceptable for a sleeve block, but in the case of a specific engine, I have not heard this experience directly from anyone.
I have found topics where there is talk about the construction of the sleeved engine, but it is a bit confusing with the pistons, so I would like real experiences or statements
Please share experiences, knowledge. Thank you
