Question: Sleeve experts. What brand of Sleeve is this?

Hey guys i bought this motor off my cousin's friend. He said that the guy built this motor. It's a B18c1 and i was wondering what brand of sleeve it is and what bore and what not. The motor was boosted from the previous owner the guy who built it. From what i was told it's JE 9:0:1 forged pistons and GE rods or eagle rods.

Sorry for such big photos guys.

Anyone can clarify what brand and info for me?
Much appreciated
Thanks in advance.

BEFORE when the headgasket blew...On the freeway.






AFTER With new Headgasket and couple new parts for turbo build progress. Start of usually maintenance and getting ready to clean her up and take to the machine shop and also get the block hot tanked.

They look like Darton slevees. Bore is hard to know from pics, but looks like anywhere between 81.mm to 84.mm. Measure with caliper.
AND for info. GE doesn't make rods, so they're Eagle.

 

darton

 

I thought it might be darton too as well but wasn't sure. Thanks for clairfying it So all i have to do is measure it with a caliper?

How are Darton sleeves?

Or should i get it resleeved from Golden Eagle i hear alot of good things about them.

Are they wet sleeve or dry sleeved?

Does the pistons look like 9:0:1 JE forged pistons as well?

 

the should be fine as long as they were installed right

 

Crush bent exhaust???

lol, atleast the guy is not using an air sander on the deck

 

It was just temporary because we had no access to a welder at the time to custom make a DP to the test pipe lol... Baller on budget!! J/P But these are older photos. Had to go what i had at the time.

 

Yes at least it ain't no air sander... Had to use what we have right

 

If not i will be calling you in near future. Do we send our blocks to you or do you make Custom blocks? I heard good things about the Godzilla block.

 

Any other info you guys can tell me on the motor from what you see on the photos off by hand?
That i don't know already?
Thanks for the help as well much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

 

cant tell much from the pics they do look like turbo pistons is about it and yes you send the block direct to us

 

carefull with wire wheels, little bits break off that can _easily_ get between the piston and clinder wall, and sometimes in the ring area.... bad news Though, I have done this before, I just had to crank the engine over by hand and wash out the cylinders with oil and seafoam to get it all out.

Those are Darton MIDS, their newest sleeves and by far the best designed sleeve out there. No need to resleeve it unless the bore is to big but just have Dartons reinstalled.

 

you should really pull that motor out and clan it and respray it and clean the bay its a shame a bad *** motor is so damn dirty

1. Yes, measure with caliper to know bore size.
2. & 3. Darton and Golden Eagle are the best sleeve mfgs. around.
4. Golden Eagle sleeves are wet.
5. Not familiar with pistons, so can't help you there.
