Default Anyone heard of JG Sleeves?

Someone on here is selling a fresh ls block with JG sleeves for a killer deal. The thing is I never heard of them.

Any thoughts?

I don't know about their sleeves, but they make some good parts from what I've experienced.

Did you have to name names?
Anywhoo, I have a video of 4 different blocks ( yes four ) that I had come in from different customers when I was at Golden Eagle. All of them had JG sleeves and had issues, so I told them to leave the block together and bring it in. Upon arrival, I took the block into the build room and spun the crank over! TO MY AMAZMENT, WHEN I SPUN THE CRANK AND THE PISTON WAS TRAVELING UPWARD, THE SLEEVE CAME OUT OF THE BLOCK..... IT CAME OUT OF THE BLOCK..... THE ****** PISTON PUSHED THE SLEEVE OUT OF THE BLOCK....!!!!

Sorry, I am still amazed. I know I have some pics, I will dig them up.

Regardless, something better is on it's way. Watch my sig for details!!!

just seeing all the crap about JG and his engine building side of the house....i would never trust the sleeves. i have no reason to doubt vinces word as i have been dealing with him for years, but id love to see pics just for fun. id never purchase them and i cant see how good they can be if they arent widely used . i dont think ive seen more than a car or 2 running jg sleeves , and one was the jg car lol....

Import Builders sleeves, custom billet cams, valve springs, retainers and ported heads are all JG products and services that Jeff buys from JG and sells as his own. Jeff has been buying everything from JG for the last 2-3 years. I havent heard of anyone having issues with any of the JG products bought from Import Builders, sleeves included.
