Aaron, I have a spare block or two.  I would
have to check the bores, etc.  Where are you located?  I am in British
Columbia.

Well I got the head of my 29 and yep there was just a little water in

the cylinder. Upon further inspection there was a small pin size hole

in the side of the cylinder that went right through into the water

jacket. Not a very happy moment. So the next step is getting the

cylinder block off the crankcase and having a machine shop measure to

see that I don't have other cylinders with thin walls.

As a back
up plan, does anyone know of an old block laying around that
could be
purchased? I realize that I might have the same issues with
another one,
but I am not sure that sleeving a number of cylinders is
as good as
finding an original to either clean up and use or bore out.

Anyone else
had to put a sleeve in their F-head?

Aaron
