Sleeved block / darton sleeves

Post by robus » Mon May 27, 2013 11:13 pm

Hello all, new member here. I'm boosting my lude but I've got engine problems.

So I'm looking into sleeving my H22 with Darton sleeves, or buying a sleeved block if the price is reasonable. Anybody?

@Nucleustylzlude was considering buying the one Phil mentioned. Not sure if he's made his mind up yet, but I'm sure he'll have some feedback to share about it if he's decided not to go for it.

And welcome to the club mate ;-)

I am not!

Guy went very quiet after a bit. Plus I'm not so sure it's good for boost and overboring for the 88mm's I have.

Notice the ad isn't on PH now, so he may have sold it to someone else?

You still considering sleeving though?... Just from scratch?

Not right away. Not a cost I can warrant before I get the car on the road. The built block was going to be the next project with 11.5:1 pistons. I have some Wiseco 88mm's which I'd like to use but Mahles are still an option at this point in time.
