Hi there. Was wanting some opinions on whos the best to send a block off to have it sleeved. Want a streetable block that I can turn up to 30 psi (+ -) Have heard horror stories of "sleeves sinking" and stuff like that. Who has the best setup? TIA

 

i use A.E.B.S. Z10 havent let me down yet ,,had them in the car since z10 opened up

 

darton sleeved going on 2yrs, my other 2 buddies same thing there going on 2 seasons

 

You cannot go wrong if you use Golden eagle.

 

and it has more to do with whos installing them, alot of ppl go to there local machine shop and have them done and alot of these shops dont have the proper machines to properly install them

 

I'm a fan of golden eagle sleeves...used them on multiple engines/builds and they haven't let me down yet...

 

i agreed alot of people around here get darton sleeves installed locally and their blocks get cracked.... I use golden eagle and a few friends and customers. You cant go wrong with ge imo... but i see this thread turning into a pissing match lol

 

As stated, do not use a local machine shop. Any of those guys you listed will do an awesome job

 

Golden Eagle, RS, ERL, Z10,, You cant go wrong with either.

Yep I would def. not trust any of my local shops thats a given LOL

How are they on the street regarding ECT's ?

 

^^exactly it al depends who installing the sleeves period. its a 90% your small local machine shop will not have the proper tools to get them in

x2 they did a few blocks for us and never had a problem

 

GE all day.

 

ive had golden eagle sleeves and they've held up great.
Cant go wrong with any of those companies like mentioned.

 

ERL Performace... Hands down the nicest machine work.... We can measure clearances and I'll put my money on an ERL block... A lot of work goes into an ERL block that a lot of other companies over look..

By the way, that's my block...

 

ERL Performance hands down. Talk to Seth or Sean over there they will take care of you. Awesome customer service. I have always dealt with them, always will. Great turn around time too.

 

I had no problems with my Darton sleeved block, but I am now assembling my new engine, which I went with Golden Eagle sleeves...
