Default Sleeving - Who should i get the work done

I’ve decided to go turbo with my first engine build off (b16a). I would like to know which is a reputable shop to have the engine sleeved, and what would be an idea bore to go with. I would like to get a little more displacement with out loosing a lot of need cylinder wall for strength.

I run Golden Eagle, but thats not saying that I wouldnt run a Benson or ERL block. Either of them are good.
Dart blocks are overpriced!

your in SD and you don't want to deal with shipping... you have many options. take it to pann auto to have AEBS do it. there in SD, or you can take it to Darton in carlsbad, or you can drive up to san dimas (riverside) and take it to GE. those were my choices when I was in your boat and didn't want to deal with shipping. whichever you choose you'll be happy.

i don't know if i'd trust pann holding your dick and some bum pushing with a 10ft pole. I've always disliked pann's shady acts. But thanks for the info. Looks like i will be dropping the block off at eagle, the next time i visit my buddy up in LA.

I Don't trust a single shop in SD. what a shame.....crapmatic enginuity(ha's brokeback mountain jt motorsports), Pann auto/green light automotives backyard certified mechanics, Joey's shady a$$(Big Kid), and then you have group5let's tack on an extra $200 motorsports, ARD performance(oh yeah they don't even exist anymore), HSR(who are they fooling? I went in there to ask them if they could get pauter rods, and they were asking why I wanted to get my rods powder coated...Joke!!)......lol the list goes on. I just go to L.A. that's why san diego doesn't exist to the rest of C.A. My bad man, just venting, you should go wtih GE. there really good. talk with Tom @ camp1320. he has good pricing.

Any of Golden Eagle, Benson's - via Laskey racing or Darton - via ERL. All great with product and installation. I'd go with 84.mm
