Getting one machined that would shrink to the right diameter when pressed into place would take a little tinkering to avoid having to bore or hone the sleeve after installation would be the tricky part. On hydraulic lifter blocks, the position of the cross hole would be critical. A dingleberry hone like one for brake cylinders could be used to do the final fitting for a good slip fit with minimal wobble. Jerry
