Ls1 sleeves are milled into the block. Taking them out would be such a waste of time and effort. Ls1 sleeves are not designed to be serviceable. They are milled into the aluminum of the block. Dont do it. I dont care if its been done. They were not meant to be serviced so just dont do it. Get a new block if you want to take that route.

LS1 sleeving Can't be done. The only way to sleeve the LS1 is with MID wet liners. If you attempt to machine the LS1 or LS6 blocks large enough to take the dry liner, you will break through into the coolant passage between the cylinders.
The Darton LS7 dry liner is designed for the LS2 and later blocks, LS7, L92, LS3 which are true siamesed wall blocks.
Cost of dry sleeving costs considerably less than the LSx block if you have a core block already. The Darton sleeves are .300" longer than the LSx cylinder walls. Also the weight of the aluminum block is a good 125 lbs. less than the LSx. What block you use depends on the application.

Thanks Steve for Sharing. I knew Some type of liner is availible for the LS1 But it always seems cost prohibtive to Mess with That stuff Vs. Some of the new over the counter stuff Like the LS2 and LS3 Blocks...
