He said CLOSED DECK.

Go to Earl

 

i thought Earl only delt with Benson which is open?

 

I'm pretty sure GE makes good closed deck sleeves.

 

darton and aebs are nice

Benson's are closed deck. I believe they are the same sleeve's DARTON use's too.

Don't ask about closed decks. It is not the way to go and we won't do them. Benson is the only block I have used in my race car. I have never had a sleeve problem, overheating problem or a blown head gasket with my Benson block.</TD></TR></TABLE>
hmm, you might wanna read up before making comments in someones thread
i had a block sleeved w/ darton closed decks , looked awesome but i never got to see it perform i'd either choose the darton closed deck or the Benson sleeves.

 

why did u not get to see it perform?

Gee, oops...

Thanks for correcting me. I was misinformed. I've never looked into closed deck sorry.

 

so many options, i can't decide what i want to do.

 

y only closed deck?

 

i traded the motor for another setup. i didn't have the patience to wait and save for turbo ... i had to have it right then heres a pic of my darton closed deck block ...









a friend has the motor now .. running strong, and it will be boosted soon. so far so good

not really...either go with aebs or darton...they are both proven....just make sure you get them installed in house (if they offer it, im not sure) or by a machine shop that knows what they are doing

im not even sure why you are determined on getting closed deck..what kinda power are you planning on making?

 

AEBS or RS MAchine

 

that looks damn good man MAD PROPS! so is this the block that everybody is talkin about making illegal for race this season or what? because i want those sleeves

 

Ive just heard good things on how closed deck is better for boost, as the pix show up above there is still coolant flow to the top of the cylinder walls, that block is nice as hell. I plan on making as much power as i can my goal is 450-500!! i hope it will make a lil more but i guess time and tuning will tell.

closed and open deck doesn't matter. just about all the sleeve companies are guarenteed not to crack upto about 50lbs of pressure. It has been proven that open deck can handle 600+whp. So just take your pic between Benson, GE, RS, Darton, Aebs ,(Not in any particuler order)and you should be fine.

 

cool, i guess i will let the wallet decide on this one, thanks for all the help fellas, i will keep saving and make my decision, i went with a 83mm CP, VERY NICE pistons, if any of u have not heard.
