the sleeves dont cost much, 450 for stock sleeves and should be more than enough for you, but then again i dont kno what your power goals are, im gonna be somewhere around 350 to 380hp

 

I highly highly doubt he cracked a sleeve. My guess is head gasket and piston 4.

 

yeah...true...but I'd assume he would be monitoring it thats all kinda the whole point of having it....

 

Sleeves aren't a pull and replace type of part, you have to get the block out and have it machined if you split the sleeve casing or use aftermarket sleeves. Thats what happened here.

 

iv never watched that vid, You can tel when the 50 shot kicks in , You should have yeled NOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! as you where pulling ahead

 

so are the sleeves pressed into the aluminum block?

 

Nah, sleeve. Seen it happen. $20 on it.

It kicks in when I step down, I let the camera car take the hit. Guy is a buddy of mine locally, he asked me for two weeks to race him so he could see the difference, I kept telling him no because I knew what would happen

I used it as a good excuse to put a fellow RL owner in the car with me and show him how well the car ran. Ended up doing nitrous on his car later on

Yes. If the iron goes, it takes out the aluminum. Open deck block.

 

I'd place that bet if you really lived here.

 

Paypal??

I'm good for it

Just don't back out when he posts pics of the damage

 

there some pressure, gm has a remover kit for it, you can do it by hand

 

haha joe i immediately thought of you when i saw this vid

 

I know how my car looked. I know what causes that now

 

ouch man, sorry to see that...

Was that coolant all over? Looked kind of greenish.

 

[QUOTE=ItalianJoe1;3311187]Nah, sleeve. Seen it happen. $20 on it.

my bet is no to the sleeve cracking, and i bet $123,829,137,287 on #4 and $5 on number #2 just cuase... and hopefully no rod damage and crank damage

 

Under the hood was oil.

EDIT: Coolant is pink on these cars anyways.

 

lol, my car has been running beastly lately. btw whats the normal compression on the cylinder when you do a compression test on these motors?

 

hense the whole rust proofing bit there

 

[QUOTE=SloBaLt RiDeR;3311231]Take the bet joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok, I'll agree to that. You show me evidence of damage to #5, no cracked sleeves anywhere else, and i'll pay you. If not, you pay me. I'm expecting money by the end of the week

anywhere from 180-210 is fine, it may vary from one gauge to another, I usually saw 185-190 on the cars I tested that were still healthy.

 

heh. Figured Id ask. I always thought it was that orangish colored coolant.

Sorry to see it go.

ON THE UP SIDE! Time to do cams, springs, shafts, and pistons! Hello built LSJ that can rev to 8k.

 

i think joes gonna win haha

 

i got almost 210 on cylinder 1-3 a little over 205 on cylinder 4. she has been running amazing lately. i got $5 there is a cracked sleeve as well!

 

i do your cars have an extra cylinder i dont know about? lol

 

Sounds very nice then.

Be careful, they run good before they let go. You still aren't on the safest setup out there, I know everything looks good for now, but I still don't trust it. Just keep an eye on your IC pump, don't let that bitch crap out on you. I think that was part of what killed my motor, when my pump would cut out at random times and IAT2's would spike, then hold, then spike, during a pull. **** drove me crazy for months.

 

i told you i replaced the pump right? car pulls quite a bit harder through 3rd now and IAT2's are at 130 at the top of third gear w/ no bottle
