alright here is the problem. my car started overheating one night so i stopped and checked it out. the radiator was nearly empty and i filled it back up and drove the rest of the way home (like 2 miles). the next morning i started the car and i noticed that fluid was coming out of the 3rd exhaust port (my header bolts on that side were stripped and there was a tiny gap there, enough for water to come out). now when i took it to the shop they said there was no way water could be coming out threw there unless i cracked a sleeve. now i then told them that they were AEBS sleeves and the other mechanic said there is no way it would have cracked. i had maybe around 2000 miles on the new build. now i'm thinking possibly the sleeves sank. i'm going back this weekend to drop the car off. i just don't want these guys to tell me the sleeves sank or cracked if it was impossible. just wanted some insight. oh yeah i drove the car all the way to the shop (8 miles) and the temp. was under half way mark at all times. the only thing i did notice was the car was bogging out. like if it was losing compression somewhere. just need some insight.
thanks

 

if may have been bogging because there may have been water getting into your sleeves but your saying that when you were driving the temp was half way correct, sounds like your fans are not turning on or the water pump may be going bad...

 

you never pulled the plugs or did a compression test?? was white smoke coming out of your exhaust?? you can usually tell when you have a blown HG.

 

well the verdict is.......the sleeves sank. that sucks cause i'm in SD right now and the shop that did the work and which gave me the 1yr warranty is in VA. damn this sucks.

 

 

If you have the receipt that AEBS did the work, take it back to AEBS and talk to them. They are in SD.

 

the shop in VA did it. according to them (VA shop) they install the sleeves in house. but according to the guys at Engineuity, all AEBS sleeves are done at AEBS. i mentioned the shops name when i got my car dynoed at AEBS back in July and they spoke very highly of them. i don't know, i think i'm gonna call the shop in VA and see if they'll front the bill. or at least some of it. doubt it though.
