Looking to resleeve my block. Does anyone know a reputable place in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. If so please give me an idea if you have had any experience with them also. Thanks.

 

Just send to Golden Eagle or RS Machine, etc etc...

I'm getting a darton kit. The thing is I don't want to have to mail me block off. Like you said, it takes too long. Anyplace else.

 

There is no machine shop in dallas that i've seen do a decent sleeve job. There are quite a few however, in dallas, that have messed up blocks trying to sleeve them. Local machine shops are fine for general machine work, but use somebody who specializes in honda sleeving if you want sleeves installed. There are too many little things that the machine shop can only learn from experience. You don't want them practicing on your block....

 

well im gonna take mine to vsracing in dallas but hes gonna charge me 850 for Darton sleeves and 750 more to put a new oil&water pump in , balance rod&crank. Im prolly just gonna get it sleeved there and have all the rest done here in town for 200. I think thats a little high price for assembly

 

850 for just the sleeve kit or is that for the kit and the installation?

 

vs racing doesn't do machine work....

 

here this is what he emailed me ........
its not a bad price at all, including the fact that he claims it only takes a week to have your block done!

 

RS Machine, quality work!

This is one reason why I love the D! I can get a spare D16 bare block for free or no more than $50. Then have that sleeved while I drive around on my other block.

 

You can get bare block LS for like $100-200.

so true..

 

I got my b16 block back from RS a week or so ago. Very quick turnaround and good work. RS

 

Where? Everytime I look around in classifieds or thepartstrader, or ebay, they go for $350+

 

we have sleeved complet with crnaks for 1000

I mean heck we find them laying around all the time... we give people creidt for 200 for there old ones

 

how much are new oil & water pumps go for(h23)

 

158.50 and 88.23

 

I can only recommend GEM as that's the only place I have experience with.
