Looking for info on re-sleeving a cylinder on these L6 blocks...Tips for getting the old one out, and the difficulties of installing a new sleeve...and the pros and cons of doing so...Thanks!

Re: Mid '70 mercury 1150 cylinder sleeve replacement

This is not a DIY project as there are several ways this is done and this is decided by what sleeve is installed. Due to the intensive labor involved its cheaper to find a used block and bore it. Typical charge to resleeve one inline cylinder is $350
