I am going to sleeve my B18C5 to 85mm. I was planning on having it sleeved with the AEBS 85mm closed deck. I can also go with a Benson 85mm open deck for about the same price. I just found out that it is going to be about two weeks before they get more AEBS sleeves in stock. 2-3 week turn around from that point. I am looking at about the same time frame for the Benson sleeving. This is going to be a 12.5:1 N/A setup. Being that price and turn around is about the same, which one should I go with?

 

You already know my feelings on this from the post in the R forum. Benson sleeves have great turn around time, and are proven.

I also like AEBS too. I dont think youll go wrong with either of those or the Darton sleeves, but i would go Benson from turn aroun

 

Our turn around is usually 7-10 days as long as it is not a custom MID.

 

i'm running an 85mm bore AEBS sleeve in my engine.....it took about 2 weeks i guess to get there and back............i think. but the sleeves are awesome and in some of hte fastest cars out there...

 

I have Darton sleeves in my engine.B18C bored to 84.5.Never had any problems and they have a lifetime guarantee.
Any company you choose,Im sure youll be happy with.They are all great high quality machine shops/sleeve companies.
