Best Place to have sleeve a block? GE, RS, ERL, AEBS, Darton Etc ..
 
Hi there. Was wanting some opinions on whos the best to send a block off to have it sleeved. Want a streetable block that I can turn up to 30 psi (+ -) Have heard horror stories of "sleeves sinking" and stuff like that. Who has the best setup? TIA

ERL Performace... Hands down the nicest machine work.... We can measure clearances and I'll put my money on an ERL block... A lot of work goes into an ERL block that a lot of other companies over look..

By the way, that's my block...

ERL Performance hands down. Talk to Seth or Sean over there they will take care of you. Awesome customer service. I have always dealt with them, always will. Great turn around time too.

I had no problems with my Darton sleeved block, but I am now assembling my new engine, which I went with Golden Eagle sleeves...
