So.. I guess we are 100% certain someone out there has actually taken OEM sleeves for the 2UZ motor and installed them successfully in a 1uz block.
But.. the 2UZ is still a dry sleeve motor, i'd assume? (considering its an iron block).. How can you reliably install these bigger sleeves in the 1UZ aluminum block? Im just confused as to how well you can secure them going to a bigger sleeve without any modifications to the water jackets...
I admit I am far from being well versed in this whole aluminum block world.. but ive currently been exploring the possibilities of using a honda/modular ford style sleeve kit (the ones that have the block deck integrated with the sleeve) to punch out the 1UZ.. the cost is PHENOMINAL. if there is a way to reliably punch out the 1uz with 2uz sleeves I am all ears and gung ho for it..
