Default LS1 MID sleeving

I've machined and installed MID sleeves in over a hundred LS blocks, many more in import blocks. Some out there for three years or more. If the install is done correctly, they are trouble free.

Cost of parts, (crank, rods, pistons), depends on the quality just like anything else.

I've done about 40 so far without issues. As Steve mentioned, it requires accurate equipment and proper proceedures.

I had mine done at Race-Eng. D. Steve also installed the billet main caps,studs & did the rest of the block prep. I have Raced & built engines for over 25 years & He does the best machine work I've ever seen. Scott BTW...He is one of the patent holders of the MID sleeves......Who better??
