I bought a Assembly that requires the block to be sleeved to 4.100. Heres my questions. My dad builds desiel motors all day long and he does the sleeving and that stuff. When sleeving the ls1 block do these sleves fit rite in or does the block have to be machined to fit the bigger sleves.

Its not just a simple sleeve job. It requires considerable more time and effort.

i thought its simple just pulling the stock ones out and pressing the new ones in

The LS1/6/2 sleeves are cast into the block.

thats the principle but research the problems of people who had sleeves installed by guys who didnt know what they were doing.

peronally only person i'd trust to sleave my on block would be Steve from Race Engine Development. He's local to me at least, and a sponsor.

better question is why did you buy a rotating assembly without even doing any research on whats required of your block to install such a setup.

Much like Honda's, the LS1 sleeves have to be precisely cut out and new ones precisely pressed in, then machined. I know that Darton has LS1 wet sleeves that retains the stock cylinder cooling situation. Costs about $2600 to have a block sleeved. This price is a bit high, considering that top notch sleeves in a HondaHonda cost about $850 (though it is only 4 cylinders).
