CR,

No, it had no sleeve and they measured the seals and they were oversize seals of rather dubious shape. Actually I did not malign them I just told how it was - It leaked, it was bored oversize and had oversize seals fitted. And Lazar of Apple said they do do that ! I also put out a message saying how responsive they were - I give credit where is due, and debit when that is due !! I am now fitting a new unit and will eBay the unit that Apple will redo for free

By the bye. Apple's web page says they re-sleeve for $125 (which I paid) and it is not quite clear about the quick rebore and oversize seals. So I paid for resleeve and got bored a point that would have gone unnoticed if it had not leaked

Barrie,

Did you take the local repair shop's word that your MC was bored oversize? My rebuilt MC from Apple was resleeved to the original size with a brass sleeve. That's what they advertise. You may be maligning Apple unless you know for sure that they didn't do what they advertise.

Cheers,

CR
