they use ductile iron to resleeve a engine

 

thanks is that stuff good for high compression ie turbo?

 

are you serious? ductile iron is used by benson/darton/GE/LA ect its made for high compression turbo,low compression turbo,high compression na,nitrous ect.

depending on the bore is what will depend on the motors tolerable strength. ie: how much boost to compression or how much compression to boost ect

 

hey i dont know much about the material used for re sleeving ect but i want to know where i could get a chunk of ductile iron? would the companys sell me some?

 

you can get a block sleeved.

if you wanna know anything useful about sleeved blocks, its not so much the material of the sleeve but the installer who installs the sleeves. this must be done by someone woh definitly knows what they are doing or you could drop a sleeve ect .
