Re: Rigoli's Block

Here is the article:

http://autospeed.com/cms/A_1800/article.html

I was simply stating that the block doesn't look to have aftermarket sleeves such as Dartons.

Re: Rigoli's Block

Don't know... I think that is exactly what that block has... sleeves... or perhaps it is stepped... maybe someone else who is more experienced can comment on it? But there is something going on there that is not stock.... imo

Re: Rigoli's Block

I think you can grind the outside of the dartons and the inside of the OEM sleeves and put them together. Comparing the two EG33's, Rigoli has definitely done sleeving in his.

Re: Rigoli's Block

they've been o-ringed (which is what I think is leading you to think that they've been sleeved) and had the dowels pressed in...what else to you see when you compare the pics?

I agree. It looks like standard sleeves. It also looks like the block had been pinned, then surfaced, then o-ringed...nothing more.

Knowing how thick the stock sleeves are and the overbore Jack put into them, I'd say stock sleeves @ the standard bore diameter will take a LOT of abuse. Especially when it's been pinned.
