This is getting ridiculous!

I checked the block I got from a place in Texas and it has pitting in the cylinder walls! What's stupid is that they had it sent to a machine shop to have it honed before they sent it to me and they honed over the pits. So they had to have seen that when they were working on it. Now I'm looking at sleeving and I got a quote of $900 for all 8.

seriously??? Man that sucks....they should have checked out the pitting more carefully prior to honing and contacted you before any machine work was done.

Sounds bout right for 8 holes being sleeved though.....it's not cheap thats for certain!

Make sure they leave a step for the bottom of the sleeves to rest on or they will move downward on you.
Good luck. Jim.

Yeah man, make sure the shop does a lot of sleeving. It is easy to screw up and the sleeves move up/down in the block.............and BOOM!! BIG PROBLEM!

Have you tried to return the block? Anybody who values their reputation should be willing to take it back considering it's basically scrap. I would look for another block as sleeving can be done right but isn't always.

Good luck
