I guess I'll just wait till I pop a sleeve and have to pull the motor for other work. Lol hope that won't be till next winter

 

buy a spare block

 

^This...then sit and build the motor over a 6-9 month span. Buy parts as you get paid. Run **** out of ur stock motor and blow it, then swap lol

 

Yeah that's the plan. I thought I could find a old short block for real cheap but I looked. Not as cheap as I thought

 

400-500 bucks.... plus a big ol dick in the butt for shipping

 

Yeah there's a guy not too far from me that was selling one with darton sleeves already in for 1200$ I wish I had the cash to pick that up

 

Ew

Complete SB, 500.. BRAND NEW Dartons, 700..... so that's 1200

 

Isn't there machining involved?

 

Yes there is. "most" will not be able to get them pressed in, that's why you would take it to get them pressed in. Honestly I wouldn't even mess with the sleeves. If anything I would go with the one's Mr.B has and call it a day. Hell of alot cheaper then Dartons

 

Yeah I plan on doing a cheaper alternative like that but if I can get a deal on darton a like that where they are in and ready to go, that wouldn't be bad

 

It would honestly be just about the same price, probably cheaper to buy a shortblock, buy mrb's sleeves, & have him punch them in....

 

You ever had problems with your sleeves tstone?

 

nooope. sleeves are golden... little scratched up but they hold

 

Lol just wondering, because I know more than most....

 

paha explain!

take it to PM or FB if necessary

 

I see all on instagram homie lol

 

faggg
My instagram doesn't tell toooo much :P

 

Like I said, I know more than most

 

Haha I bet you don't KNOW that much, just have an idea and heard different things

 

i has two spare blocks. One stock, and one with the bates sleeves installed and bored to 90mm

cuz i plan on anhilating my stock sleeves on 30psi

 

I have 3 intakes one being a single pass 1 being a dual pass 1 stock 4 cranks 5 sets of rods 2 being aftermarket 1 spare block a few sets of cams enough hardware for 3 or more engines 8 oil pump covers all kinds of ****

GDS

 

Living the Ecotec dream

 

MrB prolly paid like $1,500 for all that too

 

You should hook a brotha up
