Haha...GE's customer service sucks. There old sleeves sucked and sank alot, but their new sleeving process seems to be working better. I would recommend Bensons. Go on Honda-tech.com and search for the user "Earl". He does the Benson builds and I would go that route. My .02 cents.

Go with Benson's for sure even if the cost is a little more.
