I'm in talks with a guy about picking up this block, he says it is a Darton Sleeved B18C1. I'm not familiar with engine blocks so I wasn't sure if it is sleeved or just has a block guard installed. Just wanted to make sure before I make the drive to look at it.

Also, he says he melted a piston before but a machine shop said the cylinder walls were still ok. Claims the block is 84mm, but if it does have damage to the walls can they be bored over? I'll be taking a bore scope with me just to check. Pics:





Thanks in advance!

 

yes indeed it is sleeved. And if the walls are damaged yes it can be bored over.

 

truth

 

Looks like AEBS sleeves

my darton sleeves closed deck looked like that, but the holes were smaller, that does indeed look like aebs

 

I wish I had oil jets

 

make sure he has the matching main caps to go with it!!!!!!!

 

i was going to say that myself!! also, those look like AEBS sleeves.

 

Yes sir, all inclusive with main caps, crank and oil pan.

Thanks for all the help guys, I'm getting a hell of a deal!

 

I don't think the cooling holes are drilled from the factory. Usually the machinist drills the cooling holes when done installing. Regardless , op, just measure and overbore if needed. Hopefullly they aren't leaking.
