anybody know of any shops in Pa that can sleeve a block and are good at it. thanks alot

 

Jeff Evans is in PA. Just go with stock sleeves and have him tune your car. They will last.

 

i dont think jeff sleeves block
i think he sends it off to erl and let them do it

 

No one that I would trust. Last place that did something for me put the pistons on the rods backwards

erl

 

There are a few shops that I believe sleeve blocks. There is a guy in dillsburg, I don't remember the shop name, but I am pretty sure he had a sleeved block sitting there last time I went in.

Also I think UCF in carlisle Pa can sleeve a block, but not 100% about that one.

I would just get one pre-sleeved from Earl.

 

Jim Justice in Frederick MD

 

mohler engine building in colingdale, outside phila. numerous sleeve jobs performed there.

 

Josh at first state motorsports he has the hook up

hahaha how is that even possible for anyone with even the smallest bit of common sense to put them on backwards? HAHAHA

 

better than putting them in upside down

I know. I was telling him to go with stock sleeves, since they can handle 600+ horsepower. Not sure what this guys goals are, but stock sleeves will probably be fine.

Or Dan We can build it for you as well We're not in Pa, but I can literally throw a rock and it land there.

 

^^^ yup they know their ****... just bring them your core, and they'll do the rest... they even have some finished erl motor's done, so you can check out the quality of the sleeves and machining i highly reccomend them...

dan can build you anything.

 

Wasn't golden eagle, was a local well know machine shop and actually does good work on v-8's and stuff like that.

Made me kind of wonder once I saw them on backwards. I could have put them on myself but the old ones needed pressed out or something so i figured while they are there just throw the new rods on the pistons....i think he did just "throw" them on. I switched them at home once i got there and have not taken a thing back to the place.

I know people make mistakes, i do all the time, but had I not had commen sence they would be in the engine wrong. So I do my own work now cuz it's hard to trust anyone anymore with a project that takes so much money and time to do. Plus is something is put in wrong and I did it I can only be mad at myself.

 

the machine shop that built my motor will sleeve it...i hear quite some good news about stock sleeves tho...but if you got the dough then i guess go for it...its called transfer performance. (724)962-2520. there great guys, and the owner Ed Steffy has like the fastest drag car around. Hes world known...hit them up
