Darton Sleeves Granted US Patent Darton Sleeves is proud to announce the issuance of U.S. Patent Number 6,799,541, effective October 5, 2004, for their premier product line, “Modular Integrated Deck” MID sleeves, used in numerous performance applications.
The U.S. Patent Office, after exhaustive national and international research, granted the inventors all 45 claims for uniqueness, inventiveness and originality as described in the patent.
The Darton MID product line has been engineered to provide a systemized block modification approach for “OEM” manufactured engines to enable significant increases in cubic inches, horsepower output and field reparability of the cylinders.
Current applications for the product included the GMä LS series engines, Ecotec, Honda, Ford Modular and Porsche 900 series. New applications include the GM Northstar and Nissan VQ35. Utilizing the Darton MID patented sleeve design concept, many more potential applications are emerging as OEM’s continue to manufacture aluminum blocks with “cast in” cast iron sleeves which normally inhibit cylinder bore modification.

Congrats on the patent, you guys deserve it.
If anybody doesn't know, these are an awesome sleeve setup. They do require some precision macine work to install, but the end result is perfect.
We've been using them here at LPE for a long time and have never seen one fail. ( believe me, JL tried very hard to hurt the set in his Ecotec motor, and never did!!! this was a 1200HP 4cyl Ecotec motor)
