I am thinking of sending my block to get Darton Sleeves put in it but I am wondering if anybody has had any problems with them
And what head gasket do I use with these sleeves
The motor is a B16a that is going to run 25psi at the track and 15psi daily
Thanks guys

 

Go with darton, you wont be dissapointed. I run those in my fully built h23a and i have nothing but good things to say about the sleeves.

 

im building a motor now, and i'm trying to decide about the dartons...but everything ive heard about them have been positive so i go for it
im gunna be running like 15psi all day too and my machine shop said darton is the way to go if you have the money

 

Darton Sleeves Are they any good?

Does peanut butter and jelly go good togeher?


**** YAH!

 

That's what I've got.

 

Thats what I have..........and install in my customers motors.
Some clarity maybe?

 

I thought that they were very good but I thought that I would just ask anyways. Thanks alot guys

 

just had mine put in and yet to see good or bad, i have heard excellent things abou them. have edge brothers machine shop do the work, they did an excellent job!! let me know if you need info, e-mail me

thanks,

shane

 

so far i have 700 miles on mine.... have had no problems with them.... the machine shop did an excelent install so i give Darton a huge

 

I sent my b16a block across the country to Darton in CA. They finished my custom pro-kit install in a week, and then shipped it back to me 3-day in a rush.

Good on the phone, good on tech support, pleased w/ their custom machine work for me,... I got nothing but thumbs up so far...

 

i have a 95 gsr block that i am going to get the darton sleeves. i got je 9:1 84mm pistons w/ eagle rods. Which kit should i get for my block (plan on running 20+ psi). What is the difference in pricing and are allthe kits close deck design. SHould i get the standard bore and just bore it out to a 84mm being that the pistons were used(500 miles). Also what kind of rod bolts and head studs do you guys recommend using with these sleeves?

 

it all depends on who installs them

i want these but who on here installs for the $$$?

 

About 2 years ago i believe Darton quoted me around 800ish to resleeve my h23a on an expedited order (= more $). Benson's out in california also can sleeve your block, he is very credible guy and know what he is doing. If you need to get a hold of Benson's i believe Earl has his number.

 

darton sleeves are tough ****....Running 15psi with the blower and 140hp dual stage with no problems

 

Could someone give me darton website please?

my darton sleeves

 

Top fuel dragsters rely on darton sleeves so Im sure hondas will be fine. darton FTW

 

Darton sleeves are great, they've been around for a long time. They actually make sleeves for builders such as benson, ERL and so forth. If anyone is interested I have a set of Darton MID sleeves for any GSR/TypeR/LS block. I actually found a block with sleeves already installed.

Darton sleeves are a fantastic product. But no matter what "brand" you choose, a sleeve is only as good as the machine shop who installs them.

benson moved to Idaho, trust me i know this because i just got my block done (2 month wait) but it was worth every single penny ^_^ laskey is still in California though and dealt wtih mike laskey for the entire process (<=== outstanding guy and paramount customer service)
