this is how benson's does their sleeving. cost will vary from company to company.

 

I paid $759 for my golden eagle sleeves. They are also on honda-tech.com.

 

u really dont need sleeves unless ur pushing over 500. ive seen people with close to 700 on stoc ksleeves. forged internals are amust tho for higher boost applicxations

 

1000 bucks basically if u want it done right, ship it to golden eagle and let them do it.. they give you a gaurantee with it anyway and its right at 1000.

 

Even if you dont plan on making lots of power, another advantage of getting your motor sleeved is you can go with a bigger bore size to increase your displacement.

For the original poster I dont know how much it ould be just to sleeve the block, but I recently had my whole block built by Laskey Racing. Earl gets his motors sleeved by Dan Benson himself. I paid $3330 and here is what I got:

$1050 Benson Sleeves install/cylinder hone (you can pick a bore size at no extra cost)
$150 Benson balanced/micropolished crank
$495 CP Pistons and rings
$620 Pauter Rods
$100 ACL bearings
$250 OEM oil/water pump
$50 Gasket/seal set
$490 Blue print and assembly
$125 USA (lower 48) delivery
$3330...Total

If you want it with Pauter rods then it'll be $3430, but that's if he has them in stock. For Eagle rods it's $3050...for my buildup I went with Manley rods, 83mm bore, and an LS crank in my B18C. All that was good for 1925cc's.
