How deep it the Darton sleeve? How is it held in place?
Thanks for the information.
The Honda K24 crankshaft is a forged steel crank. I do not know the alloy. I can try to find out for you and let you know. Our crankshaft has two seasons on it thus far with no issues. We purchased it brand new for $284.00.
The block guard can be installed multiple ways. Some just press it in, others press it and then weld it in place, and some press it in and use red loctite or epoxy.
The Darton Sleeves are the full length of the original sleeves. They are a press fit and sealed with o-rings.
Here is a video of a Darton Sleeve install on a Honda K20 block. This is NOT my block but it's the same install process.
