sleeving a B series block

[Stakis]

who can do the job and how much it can cost? I am thinking about Darton sleeves in b16b or b18c4 block? and maybe you have experience with the problems of such builds?

Thanks

Endless horizon gets my vote!

Depends what size you want the B16/18 block sleeving to?

I did my B16b block to 85mm using darton MID sleeves, took it to a few places and the liners kept dropping, like a thou of an inch.

If I did it again, send it to the states. They know their **** + are far more experienced at it.

Just buy a block from GE, Laskey Racing or ERL.

Endless Horizon outsource most engine machining work. I think it's these lot they use, supposed to be pretty decent...

As above, laskey racing gets my vote.

The problem is that they need the block to be posted to them and back. This raises the price too much. Maybe you know how much the sleeved block cost fro laskey racing?

Compared to the cost of the rest the shipping charge will be negligible, if you think shipping adds too much how are you paying for the rest?

Benson sleeved block
Benson balanced and micropolished crank
CP pistons and rings
Pauter or Manley rods (Your Choice)
ACL Bearings
OEM (TypeR) oil pump
Lower gasket set
Blueprint and assembly
Boxing, return shipping and insurance (lower 48 only)
Total $3450

This does not include the block itself or the crank from what I understand.

Laskey racing and never look back, don't bother shipping Mike a block just ask him if you can buy a core from him which is what I did. Customer service is first class, every step of the way he informed me what was going on, nothing was ever to much trouble. I think my bottom end including shipping back to me was $4500.
