whats the bore of the sleeves that it takes to get a ls up to close to 2.0 on stock rods, and who would you suggest for sleeves

 

84mm bore
Golden Eagle seems pretty reputable.

 

I agree.... GE does some awesome *** work... check them out at... http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com/sleeves.htm

 

does anybody have a rough estimate of where that price falls with the machine work?

 

when you sleeve an LS to 84, coolant jacket volume is comprimised.

 

Yes but if you want a ~2.0L motor it's a lot stronger to go with a sleeved LS than a B20... At 84mm bore with the standard GE sleeves cooling isn't going to be a problem.... My friend's GE sleeved B20 to 86mm is still fine... More of a problem may come up if you go with the Godzillas... Latez

 

How is coolant jacket volume on a sleeved LS to 84mm any differnet than a stock b20? How come so many people talk about sleeving an LS then? Would your same statement apply to a sleeved b18 block to 84mm? If not, why? I mean I dont know I dont have a sleeved block.

 

How so? The sleeves have the same OD if you run 81mm or 84mm bores.

I have an 85mm bore GE block, it has the same sleeves as someone running 81mm bore.

 

Maybe he's talking about the outward flex pins that GE blocks have?? Those don't take up that much space... I dunno what he's talkin about... Peace

 

Leightner and Bush in Canada do a pretty good job too if Golden Eagle
is too pricey for you.

 

how do i get ahold of them?
