darton sleeve issue
just got my b18c1 block back this evening and the sleeves themselves sit about a 1/16 of an inch higher than the block itself...is this normal or did something get messed up? any help would be appreciated

Did you specify that you wanted that? I would still contact them and ask them to look at your order and see what that did....I believe it costs more to have that done.
I didn't opt for any of that when I had my block done....
If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you and what did you have done...

i did not specify that...actually i didnt have darton do it for me. i ordered the sleeves through my shop and then saw i would need a cnc machine so i sent it to the shop that does all my cnc work....i think ive got 1100 into the sleeves and labor. i just had them install sleeves. i take it then that that is not a common practice even for darton to do?
edit: sry just did some quick math ive got 900 into sleeves and labor...paid 600 for the sleeves and im thinkin they told me it was 105 a cylinder for install
