Well Golden Eagle warranties their sleeves to 1300hp and 70psi. I don't think anyone around here is going to void the warranty. I have seen two Darton Sleeved blocks that sunk sleeves (most likely an install error) but never had a problem with the 20+ GE blocks.

But yes have the machine shop that is doing the boring do the honing also. You can spend alot of money on good parts but if it is not machine properly or put together properly then you just wasted your money.
