the ka block already is IRON, you don't need to sleeve it... usually, people sleeve blocks that are aluminum because aluminum is a lightweight, yet weak metal. iron, on the other hand, is usually what sleeves are made of. if that shop actually did sleeve your block, what they did actually made it weaker. instead of having one thick wall of iron, you have two thinner walls of iron. or they probably just took your money and left it the way it was. that's depending on if you turned it into a smaller displacement or not. but anyway, what happened to your car is normal, that is, the rod was too weak to handle the boost under the high revving. it wasn't the engine giving out, it was the rod, i don't care if you had titanium sleeves, a rod breaking shooting a piston in a direction that fast will put a hole through just about anything. btw, don't get any ideas about titanium sleeving, that thing isn't recommended by anyone unless you have piston rings made out of diamonds, ahahaha. but anyway. all you had to do was throw in some more durable rods, pistons, valves, etc. that's all, NO SLEEVING FOR THE KA... big no no. my advice, before spending money, do some homework. knowledge is the key.

You didn't sleeve your ka. Unless you've installed, and wasted money on, .030" sleeves. In which case it's no surprise you've broken them.
Anyway. Topic is locked. Stop bieng a troll.
