You can go through any of our dealers there in Texas and just ship your LS7 up to us to be resleeved.
If it has damage like a crack in the cylinder liner then we need to look at it because there could be a crack in the aluminum behind the cast iron sleeve as well and sometimes that crack in the aluminum can go down further than the crack in the cast iron. If that crack goes down into the main journal area then you need to look for a new block but if not then the block is most likely able to be fixed and sleeved and would be ready for serious action.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Thanks!
