     Personally, I have resleeved every engine I had to rebuild and have
     not had any problems whatsoever with the workmanship. I think that
     each one was done by a different machine shop.
     
     The only problem I have had is a broken ring. Some of you might
     remember my smoking car at the Huntsville gathering several years ago.
     This was caused by worn-out pistons; so if you resleeve, use new
     pistons.
