Have a couple .46 sleeves in the box, but not sure which design they are.

I had one of the first generation motors that had to be modified to stop the sleeve from sticking at high temps. Is there a way to see the difference between the sleeves? 

Thanks for for any info guys!
 
Brandon, the sleeves are the same.   The difference was the taper on the top (sides) of the piston.     The newer one has more taper.  
 
Ahh, that’s where the taper was added.

Thanks Martin, I was a lot younger when we had to deal with that situation. 

Hope we can catch you in Huntsville again soon! 
 
Hi Brandon 

Andy did some of the work on adding taper to the pistons of inventory that Glenn had at the time. You might want contact him and he may be able to help you identify if yours are in need of modification and may be able to do the work as well.

 Thanks John
