does anyone have any idea how much it costs to have sleeves bored to 96mm from 94mm? Is it better for me to buy a set of new Biral or cast sleeves?
Thanks, |

Do you mean barrels?
Sleeves go inside barrels or inside engine blocks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Where in NorCal? Still a few shops around that do this, have you called anyone yet? I've used Amaral's Engine Parts & Machine in Fremont with good results. You could also check Bugformance. |

I think I paid about $50 per cylinder to have my last block done at a shop in Antioch last year. |

I also need to send all the parts out to be balanced and to have the flywheel lightened. Where in Antioch did you go and will they do everything? |

if you have stock cylinders, there aint no sleeves. if you have alloy cylinders, another story. i think aftermarket cylinder/ piston kits are more cost effective than machining stock cylinders and buying pistons/rings. if you have alloy cylinders, try los angeles sleeve and cylinder.

East Bay Machining, no idea on the balancing in house, he sent out my crankshaft to be fixed and his markup was reasonable.
Very small shop (size of 2 car garage) I wouldn't expect much help, you need to spell it all out to him. Good luck and post back if you find someone in the area that can do it all. Hopefully Mark will chime in, I know he would have had to send parts out. |

There's a speed shop in Walnut Creek not far from downtown. They have done VW machine work and could likely help you along.

Morgan's Machine and Marine I think I know where they are. I'll give them a call. I may just buy new cast sleeves as they are only $50 each. I have a set of new stock pistons and cylinders that was damaged when they were shipped to me. All of the cylinders have either cracked or broken fins. I'll check the old ones to see if they are warped and if they aren't, I'll hone them out and keep them for that set. Anyone know of a place to get JE forged 96mm sets. European Motorwerks in SoCal has them for $800 for the complete set including tax. |
