So from reading past threads, I'm assuming that I go through Earl. Now, is this the easiest way to deal with benson? Will he have all the answers to my questions regarding pricing and assembly? I was also wondering if anyone on this board got benson to do the assembly of their motors after benson did the sleeving? How much more was it to have it assembled by him along with the sleeving as opposed to having another shop do it? I will be supplying the pistons, arp head studs and rods. Looks like I'll be throwing in Eagle rods but still unsure of the pistons. Any suggestions on the pistons?

Note: This is not a "are benson sleeves good or bad?" thread. I've already decided to get it sleeved through him, just deciding if I should have my motor assembled by him as well (and if it's cost effecient!) .

 

I went directly through Earl. He is good to deal with and very knowledgable. I also recommend CP pistons.

 

Earl assembled my block and benson sleeved it. He can answer question, real helpful, and he gives info on the best route to go.

I dont believe Dan B. assembles the blocks. He sleeves them and then Earl Laskey assembles them.
Contact Earl, he has all the answers Dan is a busy guy; well they both are but...

When I went to Bensons machine shop Dan directed me to Earl when I started asking questions. I'm pretty sure all Dan does is the machine work for the most part and Earl does the assembly. But the best person to ask would be Earl.
