Does AEBS have a history of sinking sleeves?
Everything I've heard says that a few people have had trouble with GE and Darton sleeves on various engines, but that most people attribute it to a poor installation. Supposedly the design of the sleeves should prevent sinking if installed proplerly.

If your shipping the motor to AEBS to install the sleeves, i dont believe you should have anything to worry about. When a sleeve sinks, its because it wasnt fitted to the block correctly. Those sleeves shouldnt distort in any fashion unless you dropped a bomb on it.

the sleeves were installed by AEBS themselves.
I have examined the sleeve job and so has my machinist and it was done very very well.
But I dont sleep any better at night until I run this car hard and they dont sink... all i can see is whats visable... whats underneath there I will never know... anything can happen and I like to be prepared for worst case scenario.
they will probably be fine... was just hoping to hear that someone out there had one running with no problems... i know they have sleeved a lot of VQ blocks now... but I still havent seen one that was running yet.
