Well, im getting ready to do my fully built motor, and have not decided on what sleeves i want to go with. I'm really interested in the AEBS T sleeves. but am willing to hear opinions for or against others as well. I am planning on a 550-650 hp B16, stock bore

 

All the same.

 

hardly, some drop, some are not a sloid deck, different ratings, quality of install, i 've heard of and seen some come back not lined honed and **** goes wrong if not caught

 

i got aebs t sleeves done by inline pro... the motor they built me was bad ***

 

nice. any more sleeve suggestions?

i have the aebs t sleeves. **** looks bulletproof. honestly though, i would have gotten benson or ge sleeves all the same, its just i had mine done at z10 which is only like 2 hours from me

 

Benson, Import Builders or ERL

 

mine was done by rs machines and keeps blowing head gaskets. I am not saying that is their fault, just my experiences. I have since switched tuners and we will see whats up shortly when everything is put back together. from what the tuner tells me the sleeves have not dropped.

 

AEBS

...Quality of the install goes along way, with any sleeves.

 

just got a blocked sleeved and built by erl. looks like quality work

 

I also am running the Aebs sleeves

 

Graig, do the Bensons... Your a baller.

You won't regret it.

Bensons Talk to EARL Laskey

 

Import builders.com, read the article on sleeving

 

I'd get AEBS hands down... but it also depends on your budget and personal preference... NO motor is bulletproof!!! Getting sleeves is like getting full coverage insurance for your block...

 

i have rs machines in my c5. i wasnt to excited about them when i first got it back. in fact we sent it back to have everything rechecked and they said it was good. we put it together and had over 40 pulls on the dyno lo boost (14lbs on a t67)with no problems thank goodness. i am at 180 miles on the motor now and so far so good. ill keep an eye out on this thread though.

 

i wont go to import builders, they did a motor for a friend and they didnt line hone it like they said they did, and it ate the bearings and is fu**ed. I am leaning towards the AEBS over the bensons because of the closed deck design. although i have checked out the benson site and he does awesome work

 

One thing I will honestly say is that Earl and Benson's are great guys to deal with and do great work.I went with aebs because they were local to me but Benson's and Earl are truly top notch

 

there ar many companies out there. ductile iron is very storng if you go with a smaller bore you wont have any problems with any brand.

 

well, im starting out with a small bore, so if it eats a piston or 2 i have the chance of possibly boring and still using it

benson or ERL...GE, Exospeed...the list goes on...lol! all good choices!!!

 

plus what you have to take into consideration. its the install of the sleeves and not so much the sleeves themselves. basicly all sleeves are the same with Some differences , you could have great sleeves with a shitty install and it would make the sleeves garbage. or cheaper sleeves with a great install just depends on what u do
