Mike,They are the automotive type sleeves.I like .0025 to .003 piston to
cyl. clearance with this set up.I had a set of Ambo.cyl.that the chrome
peeled from sitting sleeved by a well known dealer about 10 yrs ago using
the old pistons that were ok.He set them up at .002,ok for plated cyls.but
in my opinion too tight for sleeves.Took a long time to break that
eng.in.When I first started it and ran about 10 miles,about 35mph it stuck
and had to let it cool down.He offered to refit it,but I didn't want to tear
it down again.I richen the carbs and went to colder plugs,eventually it was
ok and runs great now.But was a hassle to break in.
