Default Is this a good deal from golden eagle?

To get your block sleeved will run you $750.00 + shipping and handling .

This includes putting our "Godzilla" sleeves into your block, cleaning
and
decking - Two Options:
1. step deck which is usually for block that do not have enough room for

an o-ring due to large bores
2. O-ring - which we like to put on all motors if possible. Works great
on turbo or NOS cars.

Remember, we use all CNC equipment to do the sleeving portion
of the operation so no one can touch us when it comes to quality,
craftsmanship, tolerances and turn-around. NO ONE!! Plus, our blocks
get pressure tested before they leave to ensure a perfect block every
time!
Quality and reliability are always our top concerns.

We can bore and hone your block but this process is an additional
$125.00, adds 5 - 7 days to the turn around time and we need the pistons

in order to get the process done. I can get you ARIAS pistons for
$515.00 .
Just tell me what your compression preferences are? If you buy the combo

block sleeve, pistons and bore & hone then I can knock your total for
the
job to $1316.00.( a savings of $109 ) Then all you need is someone to
assemble your motor and your off with a lot more reliable power than you
had!!!
this is the email they (goldeneagle) sent me do you guys think this is a good deal for the 1316.00 for pistons, sleeves and it will be honed.

I just picked up my block from Golden Eagle, they rock. Arias pistons are fine. 2-3 friends are using them in 300 horse daily drivers.

I hear that JE and Arias pistons are the way to go...they must be good...but more people seem to prefer JE...and JE's are more known - can't go wrong with JE.

And that Golden Eagle Deal seems pretty good...So they will mill the block to your spec and then sleeve it for you? Is that what all that means? they will smoothen it out, mill it out, and sleeve it...that's awesome if so...I think I'll be going with them, the Godzilla is just too tempting to resist!!!

How large a bore can be had with the B18Cx and H22a engines respectively? I know the first one is about 84-86mm, and the second is probably 3-4mm larger than that...can anyone tell me?
