<<Detaild Darton sleeving process with pictures and instructions!!>>
Ok, Iﾂ知 new to forced induction, but since I just bought a sleeved and o-ringed B18a block I think Iﾂ知 going to be turning to the dark side pretty soon. I found instructions and pictures of how Darton sleeves all the Honda blocks and I though the FI forum might be the most interested in it. I searched HT and didnﾂ稚 find anything about the actual process so I though I should post it up. Iﾂ知 also including pictures of my block so u guys can tell me what u think about it, PROS, CONS that kind of thing.

Here are the pictures of my block, It has Darton sleeves machined and installed by azracemachine.com. The sleeves have a machined, convex, thin lip running around them which is a different kind of o-ring from what I have been reading about just by using the SEARCH button. The head gasket is going to be made from annealed copper which is supposed to seal against the iron o-ring on the top of the sleeve. I guess its the reverse from what I have read about, where the o-ring is copper and the HG is metal. It also has recessed coolant galley, and the sleeve sits on top of the lip inside the block where the original sleeves started which is supposed to prevent sinking. It looks perfect, it looks like a jewel to me but I wanted to hear what the people with experience have to say about this cuz I don't know much about it.

Looks really nice man. That does look to be atleast a 84.5mm bore or even larger.......be careful, if this was bored for NA then you probably dont want to use it for FI.

I was told it is 83mm but I mesured it with a dial caliper and got 84mm or even more on some of them, I know a dial capiper isint the right thing to measure it with so I'm not really considering my mesurments as accurate. What do you guys think about dlosed decks like this?? Is it ok for daily driving?
