Default Someone Wants to Sleeve a block, who have YOU gone with and YOUR personal experiences..

Trying to help someone by posting for them... thanks guys

If you have sleeves, not your friend or friends friend....

if you have comments, try to keep them to the sleeve job/block

I've already had my old car done at JG, and i never had any problems with it...

comments about quality and reliability are appreciated..

I had my sleeves done at RS and it went great. Fast turn around, great work, and customer service.

Had Darton do my sleeves. I think they did a great job and in total my block was gone for about 2.5 weeks from the day I shipped it to the day I got it back. Not to mention I actually got a follow up call

I went through Golden Eagle. Vince answered my questions from December 15 until I found a block and got it out to them. The turn around was a month and a half.

So basically, both GE and Benson sleeves are good, but GE might have a slower turn around time. I take it that I can rest assured that the stories I have heard of GE sleeves leaking are just stories then.

ge sleeves. i did mine in feburaury, it only took about 10 days. i chose them because of their reasonable prices and good track record. i have no problems with the sleeves and suspect to have none in the future. i dont work for them nor am i sponsored by them. sleeves looked amazing when i first got my block back from them, stout as hell. i've been daily driving my car since feb and even took it on a 8 hr. driving trip both ways. no problems.
