i,m located in east texas and need to have one cyl. sleeved in a chrome bore 200. was wondering if there was anyone in texas that did this or where to send it for professional work. also what is the best user friendly ring squeezer to install piston and ring assy. back in engine. i have a couple of different kinds but was wondering what most mech. use. mine are of the auto. variety. any suggestions? :D

I just got a 200 sleeved at Larry's. He did a hell of a job. He's kind of pricey but worth every penny.:D

If it's a Merc Make sure you use either merc or pro marine pistons. The sierras aren't worth a pinch of monkey crap.

thanks guys. if either of you have it could you give me larry's machine phone #. also, have either of you dealt with tribble machine in waxahachie, tx. before. i had an omc and an inline done there a long time ago and his work seemed ok. as far as pistons i was gonna use pro and get them from nick. another dude i know was trying to sell me some vertex cast pistons that i think are made by weisco. any thoughts. also how about ring squeezers. i have an automotive band type and i have a split type that i use on a lot of jug type motors i build but i think its gonna be too big. i was looking at the merc. piston ring installation tool in the service manual and was wondering how well it worked. i have most of mercs. other tools but don't have the piston ring installation tool. any comments on the best ring squeezers and vertex pistons? again thanks alot guys.:D
