the sleeves come

unfinished. you install the new sleeves, with the tops sticking out of the block, deck them along with the block, flush and bore them to size. they come undersize. this insures that the new bores are exactly perpendicular to the face of the block/head. dont know what grit they are honed. but i am sure it is a cross hatch pattern.
