I tried searching but with no luck
I want to sleeve a b18c1 block.

Whats the cost and what do I have to do for it to happen? Which brand?
Please be as specific as possible (ie. shipping, time, work, etc)

 

Buy one from Viren. He has some good deals right now. 1400 I htink it was for the block with sleeves.

 

I think i'd be better to sleeve my block since its only got 15 K on it, and i know where its been...

 

If the block has been resleved than that would mean that it is like new

 

but isnt it still better to have my block with 16 K resleeved rather than an unknown with xxx,xxx on it?

 

Send your block out to Viren. Thats what I did to mine, turn around time is about 3-4 weeks. And cost me $40 to ship my block out to him. Ask him the price.

 

i dont have that kind of down time avaliable...but id love to have viren do it since his service is

 

As the racing season is ending people are gona want to rebuild their motors, race teams will need spare motors and so on. I think anywhere you decide to send your block to its gona take 3-4 weeks or even longer to get it back, I would say that this kind of down time is normal and you should be prepared for it...
But I would say go with Golden Eagle sence their work is one of the best right now and I didn't mind the down time when I got mine done after I saw what kind of quality work it really was when I got it back.

yeah sleeving doesnt happen in a few days.. plus u gotta pull the motor and stuff. so thats another 2 days.. or 1 if you fast.

 

well i hear since im on the east coast, darton does it in about a week. I can live with a week, for no car for a month means no way to get to and from school, which isnt cool.

 

Darton cost a lot more. I waited about 4 weeks for my GE sleeves. But it is worth it.

 

how much more?

 

Im getting mines for 600 us

 

how/where from?

 

that is about what i say for a price for sleeving my gsx at GE.

 

I brought my block strippt to golden eagel and it was 750 for the sleeves and o-ring. 125 extra for bore and hone. Donīt go with darton. Itīs design creates hot spots around the combustinchaimber. Golden Eagel makes the darton sleeves to for darton.

Oh Itīs a b16
