Spooled1.6L

Im in delaware and just wondering if any of you PA guys or anything PA,MD,DC have done it and wondering how much all together for sleaving and shipping and what kind of turn around?

QCKGSR

it is a pretty penny

They say 10-15 business days or 2-3 weeks turnaround time. I just shipped a b18a block in last week - it was $25 from Portland, OR down to San Dimas. You could get an approximate rate via the UPS website - my package weighed 72lbs (bare block plus wood-reinforced box). Sleeving is $750 direct from GE. Worth every penny!

how much boost can they handle? So Id probably be looking at right around 800 for the whole deal.

As much power as you can afford to push with the sleeves. MotorMatrix (Mike) has been pushing 500+whp for over a year with GEM sleeves.

yep, last night i pushed well over 600whp thru them w/o any issues!!!

So if I go with GEM what kind of Rods/pistions and compressions ratio should I go with and what kinda of limits do our local 94oct pose? Could I do like 18psi?

That's really up to your tuner and you. I went with ENDYN pistons and Pauter rods. Set a power goal before you do anything else.

This is interesting because when I called and talked to TED, he was very sure that he didn't have the machinery to do a line bore??? I know I thought the same thing, machinery? You are a machine shop, but I guess it requires some kind of special service(me---&gt;?).

This was recent as well and I asked a couple times to make sure this was correct?

Has anybody actually had Golden Eagle do a line bore and got the block back to see if they did it?

what exactly is a line bore?

That's odd. Ted was the one who asked me if I would like it done. I will try to ask Vince about this.
