Pic would be nice but if the engine builder does every thing right your fine. stock sleeves alum blocks have been in the 1000rwhp range. I would just make sure the main caps are pined

thats on old dry sleeves. mid darton sleeves dont drop. most people get bad experiences becasue they take it to a shp that dosnt know what they are doing. its like telling a mechanic to sit behind a desk all day.
