Looking for a good re-sleeving company that charges less than $170...seems high to me but this is the first time I needed to shop around. 

Thank, Jason

Tell us what you are getting for 170.00.  You will not be getting the same job or the same number of operations from all shops when you ask them what they charge for resleeving a cylinder


Are they removing the studs and hardware from the cylinder before re-sleeving? 


Are they installing a very thin sleeve inside the old iron sleeve or are they completely cutting out the original sleeve and installing a thick walled sleeve? 

Do they Just bore the cylinder, heat up the cylinder and drop in the new sleeve or do they bore the cylinder, hone it straight and smooth to promote better transfer, and then heat up the cylinder and drop in the new sleeve...... etc

Are they matching the ports after re-sleeving. 

Are they machining the head gasket surface after re-sleeving?

Are they installing the studs in the cylinder before boring and honing after re-sleeving the cylinder.

Are they sand blasting the cylinder after re-sleeving?

There are alot of questions that need to be ask so that you willl know what quality of a job you are getting.

$170.00 for labor sounds real cheap for a high quality job.
