MMR sleeve failure

[brian@p+]

I need a single sleeve for a 5.8 sleeved block. MMR won't sell replacements. Has anybody ever had to change these and if so where did you get something close?

What happened to it?


They probably use Darton or LA Sleeves.

So you had a 5.8 block sleeved, it failed and they wont sell you a replacement sleeve? That doesnt seem right. Do they only sell as a set or something?

Yes thy wont sell a sleeve or a set of sleeves period.

Customer has 1 sleeve that should be replaced. And they say the block has to go back to California. They don't sell sleeves apparently. So $ 800 freight bill plus their labour and parts.

I guess will have to source somewhere and/or machine one to fit.

Is it something they (MMR) have done in the past? Not talking smack, just have a few parts of theirs ive been eyeing for future upgrades to my car.

they sleeved the block initially and I have never tried to buy a sleeve from them before.

It is common practice to buy sleeves and install locally, I asked why and never got a response. I guess it is not a serviceable item in their opinion.

they dont want a shop to screw up the install then everyone blames their sleeve? I dunno, theyre the same people that buy other peoples tools/testers, put their sticker over it and mark it up as their own.
