Re-sleeved blocks?
Re-sleeved blocks? Did they solve the problem with the sleeves moving in the Darton blocks?
I'm thinking of moving up to a 427cid either later this year or next year and the Darton block is less than half the $$$ than a C5R block. I was looking into getting one from MTI or any of the well know sponsors. Please post your experience with the re-sleeved blocks. I know about the problems when you first came out. I'm just curious to see if they resolved the issues. Thanks,Den

The only problem I have heard of was with the dry sleeved blocks. Not the darton wet sleeved blocks. There was an initial problem with the Darton stuff but it was remedied pretty quick.

I had a problem with my setup, but it was the crappy gaskets used, NOT the actual block. There are plenty of special requirements for a aresleeved block as well. Stat, pump, coolant, air temp and so on.

I would say go with Steve from Race Engine Development. He's the co-inventor of the sleeves. Nobody is more qualified to re-sleeve an LS1 block than Steve.
