ok, guy offered me a car and i have been debating with him. so i need a VERY knowledgeable honda tech to help me out
he said he has his b18a bored to 84mm, EVERYTHING that i have found says that the MAX you can take one on stock sleeves is 82mm, but he swears up and down his is taken to 84mm on stock sleeves and its perfectly safe because he has a block gaurd... i just dont think that sounds right.

 

[ZacCarter]

Don't think so. Stock B20's are at 84, but they have different sleeves. Sounds sketchy.

 

[Aquafina]

Not possible.

exactly what im thinking, he says its totally possible as long as you use a block gaurd.

Block gaurds are a bandaid anyways.

What the hell is a block guard?

What the hell is a block guard?

A bandaid from the late ninty's I can't believe people still use them...

They are welded in and keep the sleeves stable.

But I have seen numerous cars run with out them these days with a good tune and have never had issues.

 

[egfanatic]

well can some of you help me find some material backing up that its not possible, he swears he and friends have done it many times with no problems, i know its not possible but he seems to be stuck that it is

 

[jcoosi]

maybe he should learn better ricer math

 

[civdx94]

oh totally doable man...except as soon the engine turns over your going to crack a sleeve..Matter of fact JG cracked a sleeve in the b series build off and they only went to 83mm if that tells you anything.

even if it were posobly you would end up with over heting issus and ur sleavs would be so thin that yea it would bust and well you know not possobly on stock sleevs

 

[Aquafina]

^Thats why the B20 uses different sleeves than the B18A/B.

 

[shawnpepper]

I'll call it.................
























wait for it

































BULLSHIT! if he had a modulary integrated deck maybe, and ive cracked sleeves in blockguarded motors before, they aren't worth a crap. MID FTW

 

[egfanatic]

yeah the guy ended up getting rid of the car to someone else, i told him they guy that did the machine work must have lied to him and he agreed after he did some searching of his own... i might be getting the car anyway though off the guy that he traded it to, it appears to be doing fine and drive well with no problems, i just wanna rip the head off and see what its really bored at if at all...

 

[spoolie]

exactly but the car seems to be running great, im just wondering what its really at...

 

[spoolie]

its not 84mm block then...liar, to get 84mm you would buy a dart block.

i know, but i know its a b18a1 block, all im saying is im curious to if its even bored at all

 

[spoolie]

the only way is pop the head off and bore dial gauge...or micro the slugs...either or..

 

[egfanatic]

yeah true, they guy that has the car now is offering the car to me, just wondering if i should take it
