NW sleeves will out wear any other sleeve I have seen 3-1.
   We used to use them in our big bore sleds, we had one that we seized a couple times one winter messing with timing and compression ratios. all we had to do was give it a quick hone to clean the aluminum out after hitting it with acid and we were good to go. after about 5 pistons we had to go up a size. Do that with another brand sleeve.
