That's the idea. When you punch a BP to 85.5mm, the best you can do on wall clearance is ~0.110". That's borderline acceptable for an N/A build with an excellent radiator and oil cooler setup, but a FI setup really needs more wall thickness.

Bringing this back from the dead. Work was done by Crankshaft Specialist in Memphis TN, date was Feb '03.
Description on the work order is : 3.350 4CYL. Mazda, CK Out, Index, Lighten, STROKE 3MM. Work was 750. Shipping & handling was 33.00
I don't have an exact weight, but the below photo should give an idea.
Work was good but they didn't turn the crank snout down to correct size. I ran my pulleys over to a machine shop and just enlarged the pulley the .00125 needed to make it all fit up right. I would have hit up the crank shop but this was 8 years after the fact (I'm the second owner of this setup).

your not going to get more than like 1970 cc with the 85.5 bore, so no more displacement without stroking too. I still don't like the idea of sleeving, look at how thin the webs between the cylinders are, now a normal sleeve is like .187 thick or so. that whole center web is made up of sleeve material.
They will machine out one bore and install the sleeve, then machine the adjacent bore and cut into the newly installed sleeve. I just don't trust it, to much to move and your reducing the coolant passages of the block. Maybe this would be fine to me if you were building a drag motor and filling the bottom of the block with hardblok and running methanol.
