If he did it himself and he's not a mechanic, I'd have it checked out and compressioned n stuff.

honestly, that price is too good..
sleeves alone cost about 700-1200 bucks

and i would only get sleeves done by a few select companies...
last thing you want is a sleeve to drop and ****ing seep coolant everwhere

never heard of bomb proof sleeves before. like igo4bmx said, i'd only trust a few companies to resleeve a honda block.

i've never heard of "bomb-proof" as a sleeve company

Benson, Darton, ERL, Golden Eagle, RS Machines, AEBS are some i would deal with...

I hope their craftsmanship is better than their typing. Is it a shipped item, or can you actually go and check it out?
