Anyone have input about sleeves in a 6.7 block

If there's a link to a thread that's discusses it please post it. Also I'm wondering if there is much of a difference between standard bore and running 6 cummins salvage sleeves. What's about Darton sleeves? I called them up and they said they would take 3-4weeks lead time and cost 3x as much. Any input would be great. Thanks.

Call precision sleeves or http://nolimitmfg.com/improve-your-valve-train/

I used a .125 sleeve and went 4.21 bore. It all depends on what you're trying to do with it.

Talk with Eric at no limit. He can get you setup with whatever you need/want. Great guy to deal with and you can't beat his prices

Depending on how far above 1000 you're looking at, you may want to consider sleeving it down to something smaller than the 6.7 bore.

Does her typically not answer? I've called him at 730, 8:00, and now 12 pacific time and left a message the first time I called. Maybe he started an early weekend?

Every time I've left a message, he has called back. Eric is a great guy to work with.

Eric has a vendor booth set up at the Hillsboro Charity Tractor Pull today and tomorrow. Likely the only one at the shop is his machinist.

Send him an email or pm him on here (EricStaab). I'm sure he's just busy at the moment.
