I cant agree anymore. I didnt want to block guard my motor when I built it because of the all the horror stories I read about them on the net. If products are installed right and the machinest does his job right(as well knows how to properly do it), sleeves and block guards can do there job without problems reguardless what brand or style you use. Id get what your machinest feels most comfortable with or what hes had the best outcome with.

With that said, Id get GE or Darton.... **** PM earl and see what he has to tell you about them. Hes always a great help.

hth

 

dude, this is one of those "which one is better" threads that the mods constantly tell us NOT to post. there's no technical discussion that will arise from this question.

I know Benson uses sleeves made by Dart to his specs. possibly AEBS uses Dart sleeves also (not sure), and Golden Eagle from what I see on HT just bangs out a LOT of damn blocks (with low failure rate it seems)...

so basically you should have no problems with either company you named.

oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you what you wanted to hear... my opinion
talk to Earl
