What sleeves are you running? How much you pay and where did you get them?

I am going to sleeve a spare z6 I picked up, I am trying to choose between MID and the dry flanged sleeves from dart. Dry flanged sleeves cost about half as much as the MID's and I cant tell what the difference is. MID stands for Modular Integrated Deck, sure So does that mean the flanged sleeves dont support the tops?

 

GE. End of story. Camp 1320 mang.. Good deals...

 

your run of the mill machine shop will not be able to install sleeves.

 

so true... depending on who you go with and what coast your on i reccomend AR fabrication here in winchester VA.. great deals and good turn around and excellent customer service

 

Last time i was in the local machine shop, the guy showed me an H22 block he was sleeving. I was pretty surprised, I guess it depends on where you go.

 

My machinist has done it before. Here in NE WI we have some of the best machine shops/machinists in the world and a very high concentration of them too, we have to with all the paper mills around. I'm not asking weather to send it to some yahoo for $1000 because thats not happening. I just wanted to know what the difference is if any between the MID and dry flanged sleeves. and if the dry flanged sleeves support the sleeve or not.

 

i thought you went through Kaizen?

I don't have any experience but I just read threw that link, if you haven't it might help you make a decision...I'd just talk to Darton and see what they say...

 

The sleeves that are half the price, aren't installed. That's the answer.

 

You can get a set of MID's for around $500 (i'm assuming uninstalled)
and a set of "dry-flanged" for about $250

I'm assuming both are uninstalled.

Thank's, yeah I found that the other day, I guess I will just call them.
