is this block sleeved??? seller says it the same sleeve JG uses in there motors
and the 3rd cylinder has a knick anyone think it might have a problem any effect on the blocks performance under boost?

 

looks like stock sleeves to me.

 

any other inputs

 

unless im a total noob, how would they install all 4 sleeves in one piece? you can see they are all attached like stock sleeves

 

I dont know what you would define as sleeves? Those are you just new thicker replacement sleeves. A lot thicker then stock. What are you plans for the block? I wouldnt expect to push 800hp or anything but its a good all motor block. I'm sure that block could take a 85mm bore.

 

look stock to me.

 

stock block

 

For all those guys claiming it stock, I can tell you've never took a head off a bseries engine before.





Here a picture a stock bseries block. Look at the distance between the iron sleeves in the first picture and the the one I just posted

yeah OK!! Mr. sleeve pro

 

they dont look any thicker to me but then again its a picture. looks like the block was decked though because you can see a very definite seperation of the metals

 

you can see that same seperation once you clean the head surface for a new head gasket, allmost all aftermaket sleeves are individually pressed in. the picture shows one piece aluminum stock sleeve

 

added picture on my post. I'm not a sleeve expert haha but you can clearly tell if you looked at a normal block that the one he posted is not stock

 

well here my issue, i have a stock gsr block that cylinder 4 crack under 15 psi. So im looking for a sleeved block so i dont have to have this problem again. Now im either looking for a used sleeved block or wait 3 weeks for inline to do one for me. I dont really want to wait because this is my only one car that i have and dont want to keep using my wife car. But im starting to feel like i should wait the three weeks and be on the safe side.


Unless you guys think this block is worth it 800 shipped???? needs to hold 20 psi

I didn't say they were stock, said they looked like stockers. This is what real sleeves look like:

 

hahaha that guy is a rip off stock stock stock

 

those are not stock sleeves. if you guys werent blind you could see the gap difference between the ductile iron in the 2 pics posted. the stock one has quite a bit of aluminim between the iron, and the one in the OP, has very little alum there. they just arent the solid deck "style" you all think every sleeve looks like. they bore the alum out, and press in the thicker ductile for more strength

 

Hey Chiovnidca sell me that block..........

Well i think im just going to have to go with Inline Pro and wait the three weeks for it.

No!!! Good luck on the three weeks. Had a nine week turn around from Golden eagle on mine. They did a really, really good job though.

 

Those liners are no replacement for a full sleeve like the golden eagles posted. Whats the price of that block?

 

for earl and benson sleeves!! 6 week turnaround for mine

 

those sleeves are definately not stock......

alot of rookies on this forum!

 

Tell him to get a picture of a bore gauge on the sleeves

 

he is asking 900 for the block i think thats including shipping

 

I think i seen that on ebay also, was very tempted to purchase it myself

Damn! 9 weeks,
I send in my blocks to GE and usually, they only take about 4 weeks to get back to me.
