Has anyone had any bad experiences with Darton sleeves first hand, or know of any common problems with them.

Usually I'd use AEBS or Golden Eagle, but I'm pretty pressed for time, and on top of that have heard a lot of good things about Darton.

I was planning on using a 84.5mm bore diameter.

Any knowledgable or experienced opinions would be appreciated.

later,
Aj

 

Hey AJ,

At our shop we are completing two turbo B18's. One of which is a GSR using the Darton sleeves done by Leitner&Bush. The second is an ITR that we will be asembling a complete Darton block.
Email me directly if you need more details, but for now neither project is complete so I can't tell you how they perform.

Keep me posted, I'm not starting the project till the this coming week, and am still waiting for parts. Let me know how it turns out.

Later,
Aj
