I was recently reading an article and notices that Darton now offers a sleeve kit B18 and B16 motors. It claims that the kit includes an instruction manual, a new gasket and a special inserting compound. What are you guys and girls thoughts on this. Would you trust anone but Darton sleeving your block. From my understanding the tolerances are extremely tight and I dont know what all is involved in the process. I am sort of considering it and the price will probably be reaonable. Anyone with a sleeved block and running crazy boost. My goal is 500 hp and I am doubting my stock sleeves.

Definately resleeve, but I don't know which brand to get. Just do some research and get the one that you feel is the best. Sorry, I couldn't help you more.

Yeah I was definantly considering getting the in on the group buy. I have rods already so it wont be a real expensive deal. They will at least save me 600 bucks. Im still debating because my engine is somehow holding together and im curious as to just how much power the stock block will take. The only thing that is really stopping me right now is I plan on getting a house in the next few months.
