There both bad for your car. They dont support the correct part of the sleeve and they also distort your sleeves.

yes, high quality ones allow coolant to pass through them with ease, cheap ones do not. zach's right though, they dont support the area with the most stress. you would be better off with block posts.

nope, but i have done a shit ton of research on them. STR seems to have the best, but people still dont like them. the only engine builder i have found that has success with them is JGE, and they are more than reputable.

did you just press yours in or did you weld it?

oh and a word of advice, its always a good idea to get the block decked after the installation if you do decide to go with one
