Actually, the sleeves in the F20C in PMUM's car are Darton sleeves.

I heard someone had a set of Darton Sleeves fitted but couldn't remeber who!?!

I've e-mailed Race Engineering as they are one of the appointed Darton dealers so I'll let you know if they come back to me and what they say!

When I contacted Darton or their rep in Australia late last year
they don't have a specific sleeve for the f20c however, you can sustom order what you need and they will custom your requirement.

Anybody in this business can do this but as someone mentioned earlier, you will be the guinea pig

Heres the reply I got back from Ron Fife @ Race Engineering:
sleeves will run you about 599.00 for the set of mid's. you have to have
installed. the rods, pistons and rings will cost you 1196.71 for the kit.
So answer is yes they do a set for the F20C and are available now

Button moon was well cool my avaitar is evil edna from willow the wisp which was out around the same time

I asked Darton about sleeves for the F20 this week and got the following reply:

We do not have a specific sleeve for the F20. We are still in R&D on that block and hope to be finished with it soon. We do have a standard flanged sleeve that some people have used for stock size applications. These flanged sleeves are $210.00 for the set plus shipping and handling.

Unfortunately we do not have a distributor in Europe, we have a few shops there that use our kits.

Contact me if you have any questions.

The plot thickens I'll speak to Ron again and ask what sleeves he is using?

like I said, darton was testing out the F20C sleeving and wanted to do so with my block. But I've heard of plenty of sleeve testing nightmares with darton so there's no way i'm sending mine out to them.
