company: Golden Eagle Mfg
Sleeve type: Godzilla sleeves
Mileage: 19000 miles
block series: B18C1

Gone through a couple of headgaskets, but cannot pin-point what was the issue. It was more likely from the head, but I switched setup and I am no longer running the block anymore.

 

company: Rocket Motorsports
Sleeve type: custom dartons with a GE block gaurd
Mileage: 13000 miles
block series: B18C1

engine has been daily driven for the last 5 to 6 months and has seen 40+ trips down the 1320..engine makes 550+ whp on high boost and 307 on 7 psi and pump gas..still runs like a charm but the valve guilds need to be replaced.

only problem I had was when I tried to run nitrous on high boost and had it set to damn rich it lifted the head pulling the HS threads with it..but thats all been fixed and its back to running great!!

 

Wow. I was expecting some people to say "75,000 miles" or something that gives us a glimmer of hope for aftermarket sleeves.

 

just got mine
Darton MID
H22
7000 and running strong

with the whole communism thing.. I know that there are lots of old 1950's-60's chevys, and oldsmobiles and pontiacs, etc. Im just asking because I didnt know the average person could get newer cars there

 

Darton Block sleeved by stoid racing

Eagle Rods
Endyn pistons
81.0mm
ls vtec

18k miles and still going strong

 

Maybe its not the case of how long sleeves last but more of how long someones setup will last. Im sure all the people that run sleeves run high horsepower and other things cause the sleeves to get ruined. (thrown rod, Melt a piston) What i wonder is you sleeved a block and ran it like a normal car what would happen. (this would be kind of pointless for sleeves.) but then you could tell if issues developed over time.

hope this came out right.

Yes you are ignorant and that has nothing to do with this post. But since you brought it up - there alot of older American cars there because there has been an embargo on Cuba since the 60's therefor they cannot get any American goods. But that doesn't mean they cant get new cars from Japan or Europe.

That concludes our history class for today, there will be a pop quiz.

 

Oh and:

company: Benson
Sleeve type: Open Deck 84mm
Mileage: 2,000 miles
block series: B18C1 with LS crank

That sounds like a personal attack there. I know very little about Cuba, and I tried to be polite with the comment so suck a dick.

 

you said it first... *shrugs*
