thanks for the input. Im waiting to hear back from the shop to see if the entire sleeve is cracked and or which sleeve is cracked. If its the outter stock sleeve and its just hairline and small i can just use a blockguard and be done with it. If its the actualy sport sleeve thats cracked i will have to replace that one sleeve and continue on with the project. Apparently the outter sleeve's *stock sleeves* ave a tendancy to crack easily with the sports on the inside of them and its reccomended to use a block guard with sport sleeves to prevent the stocks from cracking. "Im hoping its just that smal hairline crack and its on the stock sleeve" If thats the case, im just gonna use a blockguard and have it decked for the cometic headgasket, and replace the arp headstuds.

Then ill be boosted again.

Any-1 know a rough estimate on how much a shop typcially cost to install a blockguard and deck for the head gasket.

I think he doesn't have the Golde eagle sleeves or the strong sleeves.
Sport sleeves hmmmmm sounds like a low to mid performance sleeve

yea, i think they are a cheaper sleeve, the shop that did the sleeves and such is closed because the owner had a baby so im gonna have to wait until thursday to find out what kinda work they did on this thing. And im hoping i can just replace the cracked sleeve, bore it a little bit but not too mcuh to where i need bigger pistons, and then deck it for the cometic head gasket..
