How and who ????
Never seen it done yet

 

sleeves

Most any good quality machine shop that does race motors should be able to do it. They need the jig. I know about 3 machine shops that do it on the East coast. Mike @ Rage does mine. Don

 

Anyone else that you can recommend?
Mike said he's may be selling off the block repair

 

you can buy new ones from places like BAE, KB, Darton, and I would assume AJPE that are ready to use. i would check with BAE or AJPE if you can send yours to them. both of those places do repairs so maybe it's worth a phone call ?

 

Yeah called AJ already, will try Brad next
these were some oversize od from a CN block, bought em from CN and they didnt have a block to bore them in.

 

I think darton sleeves are around $68.00 I will let you know tomorrow I have to order some..Dave

Dave,

Is that for a finished sleeve? When I called KB and talked to Ken, his price was about $180 per sleeve finished honed. Seemed a little high to me.

we have bored them out of the block a few times, and it's not really a big deal if you make a jig. the new sleeves are made from pretty tough stuff, so it's a little more time consuming. honestly, do yourself a favor and call Darton....they aren't that expensive to buy new.
