Sleeving Companies:ERL vs. GE vs. RS
with my new setup i plan to push ~550whp and want to have the block sleeved for security. now i just can't decide which company to go with.
A local shop has a freshly sleeved ERL block and is asking 1200 for it. i've yet to hear anything bad about ERL, but the cost is a lot more than RS and GE so i can't decide if it's worth it or not.
GE had already sleeved block for 950 shipped but final bore was an additional 150 i think.They also have an excellent warranty.
RS charges 850 for open deck or 1150 for closed deck but requires a core, which i have, and includes final bore,so this seems like the best deal...
Any input to this...are all companies safe bets and will have no problems?

We use Golden Eagle MFG(since 99 or so) and have never had a problem with their blocks. we are now making over 800 to the tires on one particular block, this block has been run for 2 race seasons now, and a bunch of dyno pulls. headgaskets holding up like champions !!
we just had a huge debate... and it still might be going on...

Just like you didn't put any thought into searching. These dam threads pop up once a week. I run GE with no problems here. I do have copper o-rings.
