Default ---what Sleevs Do I Go With-----

I will soon be resleeving a B- Series Vtec block..And trying to get A little more information, before I chose what sleevs...

What sleevs are the best for high boost aplacations.. I really like AEBS, a little pricey..I know alot of people go with GoldenEAGLE...I was also looking at the DART block..

Just trying to get some of your opinions..That know's someone, or has A sleeved block..

John your opinion would be great..


Thanks

GE is the popular choice. If you have the funds, just spring for a Dart Block. You get a fresh block, sleeves, and billet main caps and such.

I can only recommend GEM as I have dealt with them.

you can also get the larger bore sleeve and go with a larger piston and dont have to do any boring. all y friends have the golden eagle, GE also has the best cooling factor due to a new design, they say it cools better than factory, and they will give you free rods or something

I only know of two stories about GEM being 110% true. GEM tried to work with the two people. Locally there has been no problems I know of. GEM forgot to o-ring my block, picked up ALL the shipping and got it back to me in seven business days.

More than you can put in it I'm shooting for 465whp (more if I can) with my GEM sleeves. I know people making as little as 290whp (damn JRSC) and people making as much as 700whp.
