Wet Sleeves vs Dry Sleeves
I a a little confused as to the difference between wet sleeves and dry sleeves (dry sleeves are usually fitted with an interference fit, correct)? I know that Darton Sleeves MID sleeves are of the "wet design," and I am not sure what the AEBS sleeves are. Both seem well engineered, but I am having trouble finding the difference between the 2, and I am not sure the difference or benfit of a wet sleeve vs a dry sleeve. Also, does anyone know which type the AEBS sleeve is? I have looked on there site, and read everything they have, as well as other informantion I could find, but I have been unable to find this informantion about. Thank you.

Re: Wet Sleeves vs Dry Sleeves
I am NOT sure about this but I think the 'dry' sleeves close off the water jackets around the cylenders while the 'wet' ones alow coolant to flow around the cylenders. Agian, I am NOT sure about this...I thought about it like a minute ago.

Okay, I got ahold of the manufactur, AEBS in San Diego, and here's what I found. The AEBS sleeves are alos a wet-sleeve design, like the Darton Sleeves. Wet Sleeves, like Integra818 thought. Dry Sleeves close off the water jacket. This, of course, means coolent, etc can't surrond the cylinder. Wet Sleeves leave the water jacket there, so coolent can surround the cylinder. This allows for proper cooling. The top to the cylinder is closed off. This closes the deck up top, preventing cylinder moment uer heavy boost. The bottom is deisgned to fit in and prevent movement also, but the water jacket is left for coolent to surround the cylinder. The cylinder walls are made to high strength capacity so that the sleevses can handle up to 55psi while still leaving the water jacket. A dry sleeve would close the ENTIRE deck, from top to bottom. This closes the water jacket, so coolent can't surround the cylinders. The wet sleeve closes the deck too, but goes about to processes differently so that the water jacket is left intact. The wet sleeve, like Darton and AEBS, would be the design that I seems to be better designed. Anyways, I know I started this thread, but since I didn't get many responses, I figured not many people knew. I hope this helps others out too.

You know what we need? We need one sticky thread that has all kind of posts about really helpful info like this in it, then people can summit it to a mod and if it is really something worthy of being there then he can allow it to stay. I think I am going to PM someone about it. It would really help the repeated crap that is going on all the time too.

Well sense the mod for this forum has not logged in in 10 months I assume it would be pointless to PM him. So I am going to try to find a mod to ask. Have not seen one post in here in a while so it may take some time LOL.

Re: Wet Sleeves vs Dry Sleeves
Yea I have already PM'ed Igor about the mod situation we have here in the Honda/Acura forums. Still waiting for a reply. Maybe you could PM him as well and that could show enough interest maybe.

Thanks for the info. eckoman_pdx. I also think its nice to get some info. I think it should be sticked to but also elaborated on some. I say this because many of the stickies I have read leave holes and leave some questions unanswered thats why noobs- read them and still ask similiar q's. At least that was my excuse lol. Also it would sound as if wet sleeves would always be the better chioce but I know they make dry for a reason, but what reason? Stuff like that should be added and stickied too. and if the mod hasn't been in in seriuosly 10 months I think its time for a new one too. I nominate eckoman_pdx and whtteg You guys are good candidates, brought up the idea, and always give good useable knowledge.
