I had been reading your posts and replys on a sleeved B230FT and may have missed something but I wanted to let you know I had mine sleeved back to standard roughly 260,000 miles ago. Apparently the PO allowed the intake hose to rot away and drove it in a "dust storm"!? It would have taken .080"+ to clean it up and of course no pistons available that size.

My old '79 B21 was carefully maintained and at 280,000 still had the crosshatchs so I know what people are talking about.
