Is it possible to re-sleeve a Cylinder and or Reinstall a Camshaft when the head is off an Engine?

1991 Olds Cutlass Calais 2.5L %26quot;Iron Duke%26quot; Tech4, 1989 Pontiac 2.5L Grand Am head (Same Engine)



Wondering is the Camshafts can be changed with the Head ff..



.. also wondering how a Cylinndeer tcan be %26quot;Re-sleeved%26quot;



New parts in the engine im going for, folks.



Thanks..



Also WHERE is my PCV VALVE on the IRON DUKE!?!?Is it possible to re-sleeve a Cylinder and or Reinstall a Camshaft when the head is off an Engine?
No. The block bust be removed and field stripped for boreing way oversize for the sleeve to be pressed back in.



You don't have to remove the head to change the camshaft. The rocker-arms, pushrods and side plates on the block must be removed to pull the lifters out before removing the camshaft.Is it possible to re-sleeve a Cylinder and or Reinstall a Camshaft when the head is off an Engine?
to remove cams really need to remove intake andto remove intake most remove head yes your doing it right so far

now have to remove timing cover water pump and lower pulley off front of
