So are the sleeves available or are they also a holdup? The ones in my KB block could use replacing next go-around. The sleeves are a hold up because he orders the blanks in bulk 50+ at a time and he's out but hoping to order them in three weeks. That sounds pretty lame... if your low on something you get your order in so you DONT run out... and now he will order them in 3 weeks   Sounds like a complete load of crap. Guys, I'd do everything I could to get my money back and seek a block elsewhere.

I agree with that Bob, but you got to admit the laws have changed a lot over the last 20 years and compliance inspections are spotty at best, especially on smaller businesses. Texas is full of companies that have dealt with the California EPA. Just wish KB would move here also. Joe

I have some KB tall deck sleeves, if someone needs them They are only the 4.630 OD sleeves. I wish I had my KB block back, but I won't buy one from him. He's not an honest guy. I feel bad for the guys that are stuck without blocks, but it's not like several here haven't informed people about him. I know it's not a street block but for reference I ordered a new BAE block last Thursday and picked it up yesterday. It's a custom order not an off-the-shelf block so they made it to order..

I bet it could be made into a street block..... Ask brad to put in some water jackets...

If true it's going to be hard to come back from financially and mentally. I've got a lot invested in a complete top half already. If I don't get a block I'll have to decide to buy another and finish or sell what I got and cut my losses. Dragging on month after month just sucks. I wish it could get resolved one way or another so I can move in some direction. Waiting in limbo just lets the aggravation build.

I have heard similar info but not sure it's true..

Really sours the whole deal for sure...
