abacus does it, you can either order the sleeves yourself and bring it to them or have them order it, golden eagle does it also, but you have to send your block to them i think golden eagle is around 800 and i think its the same from abacus........

I recommend Benson sleeves. If you need Benson sleeves, contact "Earl" on Honda-Tech.com.

The older Golden Eagle sleeves are junk, they sink and then no matter what kind of headgasket you use, you'll get coolant in your oil. The new ones I heard will be much better

Well, I've heard great things about Darton sleeves and thats what Abacus deals with. Staying local and going there will save you the 150 or so dollars to ship your block off too. I'm hoping for in the neighborhood of 500 whp in my CRX when it's all done and don't foresee any problem at all with Darton sleeves. Plus like I said, it's local.

to benson sleeves...my block is in the mail on the way home. Benson buys your sleeves, puts them in, bores them to what you want, and either step-decks or o-rings your block, or neither...depending on what you want...i recomend it.

What did you pay...total for your sleeves? Include shipping the block, cost of the sleeves, bore and hone, and anything else....
