I like the ss bore AND the end flange.
Didja make more while you were at it? hmmm? :-D

Outlet inside diameter had to be bored to remove the worn material and allow for the sleeve wall thickness. The bottom face got a light clean up cut to remove any damage and make it square with the bore. Heat the outlet area of the casting 250~300 deg. F and freeze the sleeve for an easy .003 press fit.
I'll post a CAD drawing later.
stewart:
thats a outstanding job off figuring out and fixing a much needed repair , could you sell the sleeves or do the job for the members here on the web site thanks stewart
kaw rider:
I would buy acouple of those seal sleeve.
Larry Wiechman:
Here is a cross section view and the dimensions used in my application. Castings with more severe damage would need to be bored larger, within reason, and adjustments made to the sleeve outside diameter to maintain a .002~.003 press fit.
maddoggy:
really nice work. did you make the stainless sleeve or was it a part from something else?
