Last time I talked to Darton the sleeve set was $1800.

That would be pretty cool, but there's a hole in the side of the block. It was hiding under one of the motor mount brackets. It was the middle cylinder where the rod and piston were fine, probably a piece of carnage got in between the rotating assembly and the block wall. I don't know why I didn't post pics of the block, it's pretty chewed up in there. I'm off tomorrow but I'll post some pics on Thursday.
