Ummmm. He forgot the beer. :unibrow:

Is that seriously your new block?? :_paranoid

Well, new to me block.. it had a screwed up cylinder wall so we honed it out bit.. maybe too much? lol

The new Darton MID sleeves are now in place and the block is all happy again.

Trust me.. the guys at Best Of Show NEVER let me forget the beer.. :cheers:

Steve, I may have missed it so here it goes. Who is doing the machining?

So when do you return emails? LOL

Can't wait to see itcome together again... again (?)

:D

The main work (install Darton sleeves, dowel main caps, deck, deck for oil pan, rough hone, rod/piston pin hone, notch for rod clearance.. was done here:

Steve REALLY knows his stuff and when it comes to putting in sleeves you want someone as meticulous as possible.. that's why they have a bad rep sometimes.. poor installation. Finished dech height was 9.235" which will yield a compression ratio of 11.3:1

The line hone and finish hone is being done at Turn Key Engine Supply.

Yea, I know.. been on the road everyday until today.. tomorrow will be even worse.

Call me tomorrow or I will call you :)

Actually Steve did the Machining on my block as well, I have a ls7 with darton sleeves. I was just curious.

Nothing but good about RED
Can i ask what was the total cost?

Thanks Steve this is my new screen saver
