I'm looking to get a block sleeved, and I can use my old B18a as a core and pay $1000. Through DH-Racing. I haven't seen how much it is through Benson though.

Anybody got any info or feedback on either company?

Here's DH-Racing's address:
http://www.dh-racing.com/

I don't think Benson Machine has one.

Let me know folks!

 

Another good place is Golden Eagle for sleeves. You have different choices econo-sleeves, godzilla sleeves and race sleeves. Prices start at like $750.

http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com/sleeving.html

check with some of the sponsors of this site as they offer specials on sleeving services.

 

THanks anyway man. I know a guy here in Phx that went to GE, and had a hell of a time with their customer service. He mentioned something about them sinking too, but w/o seeing it for myself it heresy.

 

benson's i beleive is out here in santa fe springs...i hear they do good work!

 

i've only HEARD things...you should search around a little...

 

I've had numerous friends that ran Benson's blocks... never a problem. Benson's has been doing Honda blocks for a LONG time. And he's in Santa Ana, not Santa Fe Springs.

Talk to Earl on this board or Benson themselves, to find out more.

I did. Why don't you search for either of the companies I mentioned and see what the search tool pulls up?

 

Dan Benson has been sleeving blocks since the rest of them were playing with Hot Wheels.

Seriously he's the man.

 

PM Earl. he deals with Benson

 

You can get a Benson block through Earl or myself for 950 bucks and 50 for shipping if you are not a local CA guy. That includes the final bore and hone to your pistons as well

 

Check out our sleeving services as well.

Similar process as Benson.

$880 + shipping
includes bore, hone, hot tank and step deck.

 

I didnt read this post but exospeed is good and me personal choice is AEBS

 

Since you are in Phoenix call Todd at FULL-RACE they are getting their blocks done by us here at ERL Performance. You can check out and find out who we are @www.erlperformance.com

 

You can send it to us in San Diego,Ca.....

 

PM'ed the appropriate people. Thanks everybody.

hahaha so true i got benson now ,
used to have GE it was alright. and my friend's darton sank last night...yikes..so much time and money went to waste on his setup

 

i heard dh-racing engines usually blow, but that was a while ago. who knows what he's doing now

 

This is why it is so important to have the right people sleeve the blocks. We have never had one sink and if that one was machined right those sleeves wouldn't have sank. We warranty our installation for 1 whole year.

Yeah lets hear it for those darton built shortblocks(sarcasm)I have heard multiple horror stories about em

 

I have heard tons of 'stories', but no one has ever shown me proof of sinking blocks from any of the above mentioned companies. I'm spending a lot of money on this motor build, if it's an unfounded claim,

START YOUR OWN THREAD!!!

THis is for technical resource, not a pissing contest. If someone has proof of inferior craftsmanship, please include it here.


Thanks.

 

I have my block sent off to Dan Benson right now. Going through Earl and he has been nothing but great to deal with. Ive talked to him on the phone numerous times. He called me a couple of times just to make sure all the details were right.

 

RS Machine.

 

Search around for DH products, you will not be buying from him after you read the stories.

Try searching for anything using only 2 letters(SI, LS, DX, etc...) DH&lt;---

I tried his full name too. Like I said, If you have proof of something, show me. Thanks. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I need concrete evidence, not speculation.
