Not too many people know how to do a proper sleeve job. Make sure they are doing it properly, otherwise they may sink, crack, well you know the rest.

It's not the same as iron sleeving a 350. It also needs to be posted and the old sleeves have to be cut out.

If you can get it done for that cheap then go for it.

Show us some pics when it's done.

Re:d16 project!

If you re-sleeve, it should be stronger right? Puts it back to stock bore! I think they could do it right. A machine shop is going to do it. Any other suggestions?
