Okay anyone that was following my story knows something happened to my engine on Tuesday. Well I ripped it apart last night and my sleeves are shot great. I need to know what sleeves everyone recommends and what is the most durable and also open or closed deck? I drive my car daily about 200 miles a day all highway but sometimes get stuck in traffic. Last time my car was tuned to 14 psi but thinking I may go higher. Basically I do not want my engine to blow up again. I think I have it narrowed down to the eagle or darton. Can some people give me their suggestions? Also who around the PA area can install them? I am without a car since I blew it up. TIA

 

Golden Eagle or Darton, Golden Eagle is one of the best prices except they will only do the sleeves in house, they dont have sleeve kits so you have to ship them your block. But their sleeves will take up to 40psi (I think)

 

pressure tested to 60psi actually

 

I heard there is a long wait for golden eagle like 2 months or so. Is darton comparable to them? I can not be with out my car for 2 months.

 

shiet.... i was without mine for like 8 months, but it DID take around a from the day i sent off my block till the day i got it back..... would a been faster if i didn't have Viren balance my rods and piston before he sent my block back to me

 

Well, guess I was wrong.... hmmm 60psi hey...

 

I can do the Dartons for you, and hey Im close to you also.

 

Can you give me an idea of how much to do them for me? Also what do you guys recommend open or closed with what I said above.

 

Definetly closed deck is the way to go.....you will not have any overheating issues as long as your motor is assembled properly and the coolant system is working fine---my car actually runs a little bit cooler from what the factory temp gauge reads.
Im working on the groupbuy as we speak. The non gb price is gonna be about 1200 complete. Sleeves installed with the aid of a CNC machine (Im the only Darton shop in the country I know of that uses a CNC for the sleeve process) to ensure perfect tolerances without any chances of misaligned sleeves or them EVER dropping or shifting, bored/honed with your pistons to your specs or I can provide them for you if you tell me what kind of boost/duty the motor is gonna be used for.

 

Did you get my im?
