What feedback is there on the Darton sleeves

What experience has anyone had with these sleeves, particularly with sealing qualities, and is it neccessary to deck the block after the sleeves are fitted?

IMO, the only one I would trust to sleeve my motor is Steve Damijian (R-E-D)

darton sleeve's uses the strongest ductile iron there is. the MID and dry sleeve's are the same material that john force uses; nuff said.

check the darton FAQ and info in the ls1 FAQ in my sig. as predator stated, contact steve demirjian for your installation. go anywhere else at your own risk...

Can you use the Darton sleeves on a cast block or only on the aluminum?
