Dremel out your existing sleeves (you may need a few extra drill bits) and then use super glue (seems to work the best) to glue the Darton sleeves in. After that go ahead and bore to desired mm and give it a light hone. YOUR READY!!

Please tell me your kidding? Do you have a machine shop in your garage? It absolutely amazes me when I see these kind of questons. They get better and better every day! So you want to install these sleeves yourself, huh? What machinery are you planning to use? SEND IT TO A PROFFESIONAL. You are not capable of doing this and niether is 99% of this forum unless you have access to the propery machinery and even then I wouldn't trust myself being that the tolerances are tight. I sure in the hell wouldn't want to experiment on my block for the first time. WOW</TD></TR></TABLE>

huh... who tell u i want do it myself! actually here in kuwait we didnt use japanese engine for racing so its the first engine i want make sure all work done right... ok i have one question is the big block sleeves same the honda block?
here we sleeves all the time big block like camaro corvette and mustang. and i know alot shop can do it for american block but im not sure how it will done in honda blocks??
and the block and sleeves now in the machine shop and i tell him didnt do anything befor i know if there a diff between sleeves bigblock to honda block!
yea he can tell me it will done right but im not sure if he know what should do its first engine and i wouldnt being mouse testing..

 

I'd still advise sending the block to Golden Eagle or Benson. If you really need directions I'm sure Darton has them to provide you.

 

how much power u lookin to make
alot of cars can (and have ) made 600whp on stock sleeves

(just a thought)
i went 1 1/2 seasons on 500whp, b16a,

It is nothing like doing sleeves in a v8 if the shop is telling you it is the same run far away. I spoke to a few domestic shops about doing sleeves in my motor. When they looked at the darton book with the tolerances they all just laughed and were like no way are we going to try that. Do you self a favor and save money, time and headaches and send your block to someone that does it. If you have darton sleeves send it to ERL. They will do a great job and you will not have to worry about anything.

 

Well since you're in Kuwait, its going to be difficult finding a reputable place to install your Darton Sleeves. Do you have the MID kit?

The best way is to contact a company out here in the US that can provide the block core for you and send it to you. We've shipped race engines to Dubai, Oman, Qatar, and other parts to Bahrain. If you are interested in getting a block sleeved, we can provide the block for you and do the whole sleeving installation here. I highly suggest NOT going to any machine shop and try to get this done. Its easier said than done and it can cause more problems in the long run if the sleeving is not done properly.

 

well i guess thats what i have to do (send the block outside kuwait) i have a b20 block and darton sleeves MID 84mm. i need to know how much will expensive me and can u doing a balance and clearance for my crank too.
please let me know any info u have and how all will done. i have to ask did u put mid sleeves 84mm in b20 block befor? waiting ur reply.

thanks guys for helping and i see the the bock but i guess i have to send the block out better.

 

most shops will not install darton sleeves in a b20 even darton says not to do it they do not sleeve b20 blocks even if you send it to darton the only shops i know that sleeve the b20 block is us and benson if you want to send it to us pm me we ship all over the world

 

The best choice for you is to just buy a block from the US and get that sleeved. To send your block out from Kuwait and sent back to you will cost more than the block itself.

We have alot of B18A/B cores we can sleeve using MID sleeves and sent out to you. Like I said, we've shipped full race motors to your area so that wouldnt be a problem.

 

yep thats what i think to we have these https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1828254

 

SD small dick?? lurker your a ***** GTFO.... GE hasnt done anything wrong....

k i dont care guys talking about outside subject..
well if i cant use the sleeves on b20 i have b16a so could i use MID sleeves i already have for b16?
any idea?? i have two blocks and MID sleeves i dont want buy third block too so i guess best way is use the old block b16 with the sleeves?

 

or i have to sell the sleeves and send the block to michanic shop its best way too.
im confused i guess i need to think again

 

they are pretty much telling you to send your block and sleeves to someone who knows how to sleeve Honda blocks or just sell them and buy a sleeved block from a shop here in the states

you can do that. but its still the fact that you have to find a reputable machine shop that can do the work. whther its nearby or here in the US

 

well thats good news. its ok i can ship the sleeves with b16 block ti usa.
so if i send the b16a block with MID 84mm to u can u sleeve it? or the MID just for b18? couse it already write on the sleeves b18? the question is: b18 sleeves same b16 sleeves? or there a diff? i hear from some ppl the b18 taller then b16? is that right?
thanks and sorry for all this question i hope u can help me

 

Yes the b18 block is taller than the b16 block.The b18 sleeves are longer than the b16 sleeves also.

I think what they were trying to tell you earlier is DON'T ship your block to the US. Just buy a sleeved block and have it shipped to Kuwait. Shipping would be too expensive. Sell your B20, B16, and sleeves to someone closer to you.

If you want his business, why don't you start off by answering his question just above your post?

 

Wow, so much venom for offering a service. It would be different if they (GE) were a fly by night half-a**ed operation, but they actually are pretty good. They do good work and can get it to him.

I should say I'm not a GE fan-boy, but to me GE and ExospeedMarc gave him the best option.

we use different sleeves for the slandered b18 and the b20 but the only difference is that we use our big bore b18 sleeves for the b20 to start
