Re: C5R LS1 cylinder block Quickin,
how do i assure that a sleeved LS1 block will not have sleeve problems and hence cooling problem. if i can assure getting a good sleeved LS1 block i would go with a sleeved LS1 block not a C5R block. any help?

I'm no expert, this is what my research has told me. I have an ARE 436 going in next week, supposedly there getting it right. The C5R block is only like having insurance in the event you have to resleeve. The LS1, your screwed.
