I am building my b18c1 block. This is going to be my street/stip car, and I am going to boost about 20 to 25 psi on it.
Which sleeves should I go with???
Darton or Golden Eagle ????
If anyone of you are using one of these let me know the pros and cons of them.
thanks

 

Darton ->
-DIY = less downtime
-Can replace one sleeve at a time

Darton ->
-DIY = easy to screw up if done wrong
-No warranty

Golden Eagle ->
-Warranty
-Assurance that the work was correctly done (that's all they do)

Golden Eagle ->
-Downtime
-Cannot replace only 1 sleeve if necessary

GE get's my vote.

Vince is here on the board somewhere...

If I was doing what you're doing, I'd go GE.

 

GE only, even though u have to replace all at one time, way cheaper than darton.

 

Not to mention, Golden Eagle sleeves are better. And the block comes with a warranty!!!

The warranty comes from Golden Eagle Mfg. Warranty includes:
90 warranty against sleeve sinking ot water leaking into the oil chamber
3 year warranty against sleeve cracking due to boost pressure. Up to 60PSI!!!!!( does not include detonation or rod failure!!! )
What more do you need?
