golden eagle did mine.. i paid around 1200 including shipping.. they charged me an additional $90 to remove a block guard, and they kept it. machine shop that did my motor said the sleeves sat higher than the deck a little. which resulted in them decking the block to make is all even. i dont know if ge did it like that just in case the sleeves sank? i guess my experience with them was decent

correct me if im wrong, but that's called step decking and ge does it to all of their sleeved blocks unless you specify otherwise.

yeah, you are correct, its called stepdecking. it helps seal the compbustion chamber better.
Also, please post what all was included for the price. was it final bored to your bore size or left small? was it honed to your piston specs or just left to be honed at your home machine shop? was it "o"Ringed. All this make a big difference in terms of sleeving costs. sure you can get a block sleeved for $800. but when you have to bring it back home and bore and hone it for another $200-300, its $1000-1200.
Also include if you had t pay for shipping to them and then they charged you for shipping back.

yeah you didn't hurt anything by doing that but it did defeat the purpose that really helps out in forced induction engines. with that and o-rings it's almost bullet proof

Just to clear things up a little bit for consumers regarding the GE sleeves. They are good sleeves, I can attest to that, but the $750 does not include the final bore and hone, so youre looking at another $100-$200 on top of the $750 to finish it up. Any good quality sleeved block is going to cost you in the $900-$1000 range to get it ready to run.

GE did mine, smal nick on the block deck around cylinder one outside the wather chanel, but says if would be alright.
how much do the sleeves sit above the deck? my machine shop told me they were the same height so maybe i have a wrong headgasket now
