Guys, I need UIM cores!
I Just shipped out my last sleeved upper, guys. If any of you have a bad Seres II UIM lying around, please take a moment to box it up and send it to me. I'll pay freight to 95020.
I like to have a few done and ready to ship for when the inevitable happens.
Thanks!

top view of first photo. I think instead of reaming the manifold, the machinist decided to ream me. Note that it'* a bit off-center. About .015, I'd say.
My dirtball sleeve sits atop the upper, ready for installation. I used some #320 wet-or-dry sandpaper to rough up the hole a bit to give the JB weld some tooth for good adhesion. Wound up with a very light press fit.
All done. Note that the sleeve sticks up into the airstream quite a bit. This is for the cooling effect by the rushing intake air mentioned in previous posts.

I believe Bob has posted better pics somewhere, but this gives you the right idea.
