got more of the engine apart

[red devils dude]

well I was cleaning the face of the block and top of the sleeve when I see this tiny
crack going down the sleeve so I pull the oil pan off get the connecting rod, piston out
and get the sleeve out it's cracked all the way through from top to bottom so
now I'm going to pull all the piston assy and sleeves for checking.

You might be better off getting another engine if you find much more wrong. Not that they are that hard to rebuild, just finding some parts is expensive. Check with Spicergear, I think he still has a good, low hours, turbo engine.

all the rest of the parts look good so far.

I don't know how difficult sleeve assemblies are to find. That, and the cost, would be the determining factors. I would look for a blown engine, you might find some good used parts,

there easy to find I just ordered the parts it was about $300 for the lot(2sleeves, rod bearings and a oil pan gasket).

OUCH!
Oh well, could be worse. Still cheaper than parts for a new pickup truck.
