So what about that piston sleeve? How would I get it out of there? Reason being i'm hesitant to take the engine off of the car... the damn screws that were provided with my kit are the cheapass aluminum ones that have horrible heads... getting close to stripped, and they tend to be a little tight due to vibration. Also, to temporarily hijack this thread... was reading your posts about the OS and Epic port/polish jobs... and have been thinking about doing that for a while... When something like that is done, I'm assuming the objective is smoother air flow, less turbulence. Is there a writeup online somewhere on how to do this? I am capeable of doing this, but need to know what i'm needing to change specificially so i dont F up the engine

Any help would be appreciated!!
