Yeah LA Sleeves been around a long time and alot of people actually use them. You would be surprised. I know they make a drop in sleeve , also I believe they make an iron sleeve too. I dunno if that is who RS Machine uses or not but I believe someone uses them for an upgrade.


I know a local machine shop has used many LA Sleeves in H22s

From what I remember, they make two types of sleeves: Stock replacements and aftermarket performance sleeves.

I'm assuming this is going to be a boosted H22?

They do make the sleeves for AEBS, or at least at one time they did. Darton has their own foundries and GE makes their own stuff as well.

On topic, LA Sleeves is a great sleeve manufacture. They make bulletproof stuff! The real point here is the shops that install the sleeves and the final machine work that dictates if the job is good or not or if it is a good deal. But to answer the question about LA Sleeves...they are great
