darton sleeve help
I am currently looking to buy a b18c and a shop started to put darton sleeves in and supposedly the machinist quit and they put two sleeves in and left the other two sleeves about an inch up. can any one give me any advise on what to do. i would like to use golden eagle but not sure if they can remove what there and install theirs or do i need to find a reputable shop to try to figure out what the last shop never finished.

Re: darton sleeve help
Dry liners aren't really worth it, because the liner is still being supported by the stock aluminum casting, which is where the weak link is.
For a sleeve to be strong it needs to replace the entire stock casting, like the MID sleeves.

Re: darton sleeve help
From your photo, it doesn't look like the sleeves are correctly aligned for installation.
The only way to do this to make certain you won't have issues is to remove all the sleeves, inspect the work and assuming the machine work was correctly done, reinstall the sleeves with new o rings and the proper grades of Loctite and then deck it.
If you want to send the block in to Darton I'll check it out for you and see what the deal is.
Kind of strange one would quit right in the middle of a sleeve installation.

Yea, I don't see why they pressed two in then stopped, very weird, unless there was a problem with the ,machine work and the last two sleeves cannot be installed
And you'll have on hell of a time trying to get the two installed sleeves out of the block... the loctite used to seal them is stupid strong... you'll need a serious heat source and a pretty big press, as well as some creativity.
