Cast Iron Cylinder Sleeves

What is the purpose of sleeving the bore of a new engine with cast iron? The ohv Snow King Tecumsehs still have the sleeve while according to my dealer the Briggs Snow Intek does not. I am aware of sleeving being used to keep in service engines that have been bored to the point that the cylinder walls are too thin. Again,why on a new engine? Marc

Richie, I think OPE should have a high content of Titanium and Nitinol (memory metal = Titanium and Nickel alloy). I wouldn't need a headlight either Green illumination included!!!
"Where's your thread"
Walt,
I love it! Yes, the memory metal is very cool, I've seen it demonstrated. I got a kick out of the "green illumination lighting." When I start the thread, I'll be sure to move this post over to it.
