First thing is the thinwall sleeves need a different aproach then regular sleeves...if you´re not familiar with them i would stay away from it.
Chemical metal in a bore is a no no...it doesn´t transfer heat...better off with a regular cast sleeve there.
I have regular sleeves if you need...or a better block...
If you don´t have a machinist that know flatheads make sure you know the does and don´ts before starting or it may end up an expensive learning experience..
