I called a machine shop to get my block sleeved to run Darton Sleeves (NOT MID) and Wiseco pistons, and he told me $1800, which sounds absurd. Does anyone know what it should generally cost? I don't have any other machine shops around the area that I know of (Northern Jersey).

 

i know a friend of mine got his GSR block sleeved with Dartons and that cost him 1800... I was actually goin to check on this myself one of these days

 

yea same here, I was gonna call sometime within the next few months to ask about getting my h23 block sleeved with the darton replacement sleeves, bored/honed and check the alignment of the mains, I hope it wont be 2g

 

Honestly I thought it would be a lot cheaper. I am not sure if he thought that would be for MID sleeves because I know they are a lot harder to put in.

 

camp1320 does golden eagle sleeves for 725 for h23's :D

 

Liner install should run around $700, IIRC. $1800 sounds a bit high unless there is other machine work being done (balacing, line hone, etc).

I just got off the phone with the machine shop around here and they said it would be 600$ ballpark price.
Although I am going to check into them a bit more before I do anything. I wouldnt mind payin the extra 150 or 200$ to send it to somewheres that does them ALL the time.

yeah that price makes a lot more sense to me, not $1800. But he is going to call me back and let me know the full details.

That includes all the work? Like boring out the old block and putting in the sleeves? What's shipping like?
