Need a block sleeved. Does anyone have any recommendations. I hear Golden Eagle Sleeved blocks are good.

 

Benson does a very precise job. You can get them from Earl Laskey in So. Cal. 949-400-0334 (cel) or 714-688-0222 (shop)

 

yea, they have a long-earned reputation with honda engine building.

 

Thanks

 

AEBS does a really good job

I've made several calls to Paulus and Bill, both have been very helpful. They even replaced a lost headstud washer at no cost

AEBS offers optional o-rings on there sleeves. They can be copper, or stainless steel wire o-rings. The stainless one's are much harder to service, but don't need to be replaced everythime the cylinder head is removed. The copper o-rings must be replaced whenever the head is removed.

Stainless is reccomended for extreme boost applications.

The copper o-rings have no problem dealing with 25psi of boost on a 87mm bore S2k. (Just got done re-ringing a AEBS motor)

 

Excellent info!

I have experience with O-ringing on a Turbo 240Z. That is a great way to go.

Thanks

 

You still use a OEM headgasket with the AEBS o-ringed sleeves, unlike some other applications that use a copper headgasket.

I wouldn't use a copper gasket on a non-drag race application. Copper headgaskets are pretty well know for seeping oil and coolant.
