Default Where to Resleeve Reliably?

So I have searched and searched but I haven't been able to find a thread listing reviews for different companies know for the reliability of their resleeve work. In any FI application I know that the quality of the resleeve is paramount for the longevity of the engine. So for those who went the aftermarket sleeve route; who did you go to for the job and did the shop stand up to the task? Thanks for all who may chip in.

What engine do you need sleeved?
Do you need prices for pistons, rods or build services?
PM your email and we'll hook you up.

I sent my block out to InlinePro and had them install AEBS sleeves. GE, Benson, Erl etc are all fine as well. The install is whats key. If they are done properly, you will not have any issues with any of the companies.

i had mine done in CT at larrys power ( larryspower.com). They did great work! Darton Mids and copper O-ringed.

i paid 800 labor and 150 for the o-ringing. I bought the sleeves on my own

The total cost of sending my block to InlinePro, buying and getting the sleeves installed, and getting it shipped back to me was around $1360. not bad for the quailty and reputation that InlinePro has.

No thats pretty cheap...im not too familiar with them but im sure they do good work. Darton mids are a little more expensive then the rest i believe. I got the o-ringing done as insurance ...its not that much money and figured i mine as well while the block is out.

i think they charge like 1000$ labor only now....but at the time i paid 800$ and extra for the o-ringing. i have had zero issues with the block. they def do great work though...

however it would certainly be more then 1360. not a bad price at all

I've got over 20k on my benson block. I couldn't be happier.

I know golden eagle has a good product and I wouldnt hesitate to use them either.

As mentioned, installation is a key component in sleeving, if done properly.

Actually our sleeves can handle 1,200 hp no problem! If everyone hasn't heard about it yet, we sleeved the new K24Z7 block for Bisimoto and its running 1,004 hp, also if you're going to be at (or already are) SEMA stop by the American Honda booth to check out the 2012 Si that Bisi built!
