4-cycle, Natural, steel, Piston sleeves
Thanks Gene. Which brand?
I don't think Cats have sleeves, Cummins are aluminum, Perkins?
I know Hino's have sleeves.
Any faves?

At least some of the Volvo's have sleeves. Mine does, but are turbo'd six
cylinders.
But, a naturally aspirated small diesel is likely to last a long, long time.
Replaceable sleeves may not be all that important. At 6000+ hours the
original Ford Lehman in my wife's Grand Banks is just broken in according to
Bob Smith of American Diesel Corp.
