lol...so one feels better?




i thought this went without saying, but to avoid any confusion, we are discussing the latter of the two at this point.

Agreed, I just thought "useless" was a strong word.

The CSS system is a piece of metal pressed fit and welded... then the sleeves are bored .5mm over and honed. the process is no different then a block guard... except for the welding, although people do weld block guards in.

and pulling out is no fun lol

but enough arguing, back on topic.

IIRC darton installs their sleeves, I don't think they have other machine shops as "authorized" installers.

when my block got darton mids it went to darton.

Yea I thought that was the case.. I think things like their OEM replacement sleeves and low end sleeves can be done by pretty much any machine shop but darton does all mid work in house.
