Little change of subject......having to with more bore. Steve at RED told me he has sleeved iron blocks many times....that its the ultimate in strength. If he installed the new Darton sleeves....how big of a bore can those sleeves go and still have good cylinder wall thickness for reliability and a rebuild?
Next build it will

But I thought the newer Darton sleeves allow larger bores than just the cylinders in the block would allow.....no...?
But also a LOT of weight is taken away from the block to get the sleeves in the block. Might be the same weight after sleeving....or just a little heavier.

Id just about bet on the block weight being greater after the sleeving.
Not sure what your asking, regarding your question.

My question was referring to bore size in the LSX block.....compared to bore size in the Darton sleeves. Can’t a larger bore be done in those sleeves and still be safe and reliable....then going the same size in just the blocks cylinders?
im talking about sleeving the LSX block. Steve at RED said that would make the ultimate set up.
