How did the sleeve work out?

I have been away from the airplane side of things for a while. I hear that Supertigre has ceased production. Is that true? I know that the owner moved production to the GMS factory a number of years ago to save costs. Europe is a very expensive place to make things.
I haven’t used that engine much. I ended up putting a new piston ring in it and bench running it after I got the new bearings done. It’s still smooth as silk and turns the same prop 400rpm faster than it did in OEM trim.

Super Tigre was still making engines I believe, but the distributor has difficulty in getting engines and parts I guess. I think the old Hobbico company ditched ST to promote their “premier” OS garbage.
