Default Dropped sleeve...
What are the symptoms of an all bore dry sleeve that has "dropped"?
How and why do they drop?

when I dropped a sleeve, it ate coolant, and wouldnt idle right when it was warmed up. constant air bubbles coming up in the radiator like a blown head gasket.

They drop when the block gets really hot, near the heads, it causes the aluminum to expand and the sleeve will then move and allow oil/coolant to mix and enter the combustion chamber.
