Nope it is the stock B2 sleeve

Amazing how well it runs with a used piston and rod in it isn't it? To be fair, that piston also only had about 2 gallons on it, but when it was in my Cody King it would always just quit, sometimes at 2 minutes, sometimes at 5, could never figure the dang thing out, heck the front bearing in my B2 is out of my Cody King engine so I know it wasn't the front bearing! When I went to replace the front bearing the piston wasn't up at the top when I pulled the back plate off, at that time there were no replacement parts for the B2 so it was basically a junk engine, well I had already put my Cody king sleeve and crank in my old Orion 7 port, using the old piston because it was a tighter fit (go figure)

well I thought both the Werks engine and Orion engines are made at L&M so I figured I would put it in and see what happened, that was over 2 gallons ago (I did measure the rods to check length and they were the same, they actually look the same accept Orion rods have their name stamped on them and have a bit smoother sides.) I still flog the heck out of that engine, and I am sure if you watched the Video that is one monster straight! Both the green car and white one in the video are running Speeds, both drivers also finished 2nd and 3rd last year at the Viet Nam championship race, so for me to be using that little old werks engine on about 5 gallons and they can't seem to catch me until I make a mistake on a corner tells me that werks engine and the 2096 pipe combo are pretty dang good!
Tomorrow we have the first (official) race of the year in Viet Nam I will be using the Werks to qualify then change over to my new OS speed, but at the next race I will be sporting my new Fusion engine from Huston's Engine service
