Well you can have both. Dry sleeved with deckplate. As for $100, nothing to see here, move away please....

there are many compromises
firsty i asked CEP yes its big money but a big job he preps the block and fits it .
o ringing the deck and head is one option to try to reduce bore movement and any good machine shop should be able to just put little bits of aluminum in the right spots grout is another schools out on how effective

Pricey? lets compare apples to apples, IF there was 2 billion 944t's built perhaps the price could come down. Realizing we are not driving Honda's, I think the price is pretty fair, considering the amount of R&D to eliminate failure and the limited amount of buyers involved.

Its all relative. my point isn't that its OVERPRICED. Its that the cost is high enough that anyone should consider just going that litke bit extra and sleeving. the difference in sleeved Honda's and block guard is 10x's difference. Difference between those on this engine is less than only double. So why not just sleeve. I'm trying to upsell 4 you! Nothing else
Additionally, so everyone's clear, you guys have provided me with the most direct and insightfull answers. extremely quick e-mail responses, and an encouraging knowledge base. From the short interaction, I would fully endorse you guys and look forward to your work on my project next spring. - more on that this winter.
take care

Oh, no worries. You are right, the cost to add liners at that point is not a big deal but, In reality, the Alusil bores and headgaskets do ok when they are not moving around. They don't take blow ups like Steel liners but they are much lighter than steel.
