When have you ever seen or heard of a problem about a block that Darton sleeved?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Darton factory did my block. They were very expensive, but the machining was flawless and I have not had any problems in the three years I have been running that block. You get what you pay for

When I dropped off my block John was still there and he made me feel like everything was gonna be great with it. Half way through my 3 month sleeve wait I noticed something had happen, they werent answering my phone calls and when I did get ahold of them it was always some girl who didnt really seem to know anything. When the block was finally done I found out that John had left when I picked it up. Ive seen John at a few races since then and he seems like a very honest and up front person and I would gladly take my blocks where ever he goes to work.

Here in Canada we use Gord Bush Performance. He is using Darton Sleeves in his motors.
He is in the Toronto area, so might to an alternative for anyone in the North Eastern US.
PM me if your interested and I can get his number. We use his motor (Top to Bottom) in our All Motor Car and I will be using his Block in my Hot Rod car next year.

Kinda shitty when a company such as Darton jumps in a thread about one of their customers/dealers and tries to peddle business away and in their direction...

I was merely answering a question...We have our own product that we sell that RS does not carry...There is more to the relationship between Darton and RS than you know...
