The machine shop must have a 3 or 4 axis CNC and the tolerances are a thousandth to 1/2 a thousandth. It has to be perfect.
Right, I haven't read any info saying that using a wet sleeve has worked in any form.

Between the info out there on sleeves and the info out there on current shops closing decks has made me want to go my own route and try something different. I think our ideas on closing these decks will work, but I will just have to prove that after the build. -- Or I might never get our ideas off the ground. Depends on if I can get a machine shop with the proper equipment to work with me. Unfortunately I do not have a CNC
