The drop into the water jacket between the sleeve and the block
They're typically made by Nuformz
They cost about $100-150
They rattle a lot
They cause a lot of extra vibration in your sleeve
Typically $800-1200, depending on where you get it done, if you're looking for reinforced sleeves (like Golden Eagle's monster sleeve setup), if you're boring out your block, if you're raising your deck, etc...
Damn re-sleeving is expensive! I guess if want crazy amounts of boost ya gotta do it. My mustang handles 18 pounds of boost without skipping a heartbeat. Mind you, I don't run down the highway or up the street with a consistent 18 pounds...lol. In the city I sometimes see 6 to 10 tops, that's about it.
So do they slide it in halfway down and weld it in then? It still rattles at that point? Perhaps the cooling is affected since there's not as much water flowing through? It seems like a good idea...similar concept as a girdle for a domestic. Do they make girdles for imports?
Cooling is affected since it blocks most of the coolant's path, but the holes in the guard are there to let the coolant through.
Yes, they make girdles for imports... but I assume you're talking about crank girdles. The GSR engine has one it in already, and Z10 makes one to bolt up to other B blocks.
Interesting...I think my motor, a D16A1...i think, has one also...check it out, it connects all the bearing caps together. Or am I completely out to lunch!
