Bare with me techinspector1 and work with me here. I'm grateful for your input and am trying to strike a balance here between the ideal world and the limitations I have to work with, here in Sri Lanka.

I'm not keen to go with a sleeve because this is a large bore size (by Sri Lankan standards) and the sleeving process over here even at the best facility, leave much to be desired.
The sleeve material is not ideal and the machined outer surface can not be guaranteed to be true. Leaving air pockets between the sleeve and the bore etc... I have had to deal with all these shortcomings in the past so I'm keen to avoid with this build.

BTW the deck height is stock at 9.8"

What if I bore all cylinders to use the Keith Black KB201KTD-100 or the KB203KTM-100 and zero deck the block and use the recommended felpro gasket.

The figures will be as follows.


cylinder volume 973.66
chamber vol 115
dome vol 12
gasket vol 10.5
ring land vol 0
clearance vol 0

Compression ratio 9.58:1
