[TTriton]

What is everyone's opionion?? I need to send a block out to get one hole sleeved and I've heard that there will be heat transfer problems. Is this true or just urban legend?

I'll give them a call and check them out.. I want to do it right the first time. There is enuf people out there that have made mistakes and I'd rather learn from them. Than make my own..

Yes, there is a difference, those 2.4's are chrome? A plating cyl. will always tranfer heat quicker than a steel one. However, that is not always a big issue in all applications. A good thin steel sleeve works well also. I myself use Jim Ruck (920-233-3833) He's been doing them for 30yrs. He's gotten pretty good at it.....
