Damn $400 bux to resleeve is a deal. Most shops charge around $800 bux

If you go 2.0L do you have the new pistons and rods to put in there? That is prolly the only issue you have to worry about. Otherwise boring to 84mm without having the parts is worthless.

All I gotta say is if they can do a good job sleeving your block for $400, I want to know who they are, what sleeves they use because I'll use them for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well actually the price is 600 for the resleeve just 200 for minimal boring and honing
400 was the price difference
and full headwork costs $1000

Well it's a Difference of 400 for the machine work Now look at the difference in price for the new Pistons and Rods and the headwork that is necessary to match the head to the block.

Now how much is the difference?

well pistons for just a normal boring or oversized boring are going to be about the same price.. so thats not really a bother..
already looking at spending about $1000 between rods/pistons/cylinder brace
