I've written several replies regarding the MID installations. As one of the sleeve designers and the main installation center for them, I can tell you that there are no problems with the latest design sleeves or installations.

Their was a leaking issue last year at this time but that was due mainly to gaskets, not the sleeves. Cometic now has MID specific gaskets for the LS1 -LS6 blocks. I have also made a change to the installation specs making for a better job.

I've got at least thirty blocks running. No one has called about any problems.
