<![CDATA[Anyone install sleeves?]]>Well the planned setup keeps getting more elaborate, and now I'm heavily considering sleeving the LS motor. Is there anyone in town, or near town, that will install sleeves? TIA.

Sean

Alright, i got some more info squared away today but no finally pricing set yet until we get my block done and see exactly what its gonna take. But more or less w/in the next month it should be done and we should be able to get sleeves done locally. We will be using Darton sleeves. The offer a closed deck design and then the think wall open deck design. Lookin as if the open deck will be about half the price of the soild deck. Their saying closed deck is good for 40psi and the thick wall open deck good for 20 psi.

This is info from darton themselves? What prices did you get quoted on just the sleeves?

I would say your best bet would be to hit up Tufte with questions, he seem to has a good working relationship with themeclipsenit@aol.com

Exospeed warranties their sleeved blocks against cracks and sinking.

Depends on what sleeves you go w/. I know he can get DART and he also mentioned there is a compnay called LA Sleeve that manufactures a lot of aftermarket sleeves for repairs that supposedly has a Honda sleeves now too. IDK what he wants to charge full done. Mine should be done here pretty quick but he was doing it for no charge as guinea pig.

I know you can buy bensons and dartons for about $500 if you find a good deal. I'd like to hear how yours do after a couple thousand miles of boost. Keep me updated for sure. Would he warranty any work?

No idea what is involved w/ sleeving. Brian @ Sturdevants seems to be a very good machinist as quite a few people seem to be using him for their headwork and any other machine work, I'm not sure if that is who SLS is using, but that is who I'd go to.

Cool, thanks nick. Where's he from?

As it turns out the SC 'probably' isn't going to fit. So, I figured "what the hell" might as well boost the piss out of it, so I'm probably just goign to sleeve it this winter, eventhough it won't see boost for atleast a year.

Anyone know what's involved in installing sleeves, my father is a machinist and "should" be able to do this.
