Re: bore and resleeve b18b1
i have done research, and seriously thats not what i am asking i am asking if anyone has turned a ls block into a 2.0l and if it worked out or blew up. in all the threads i found on this the only response was no because the sleeves would be to weak.

Re: bore and resleeve b18b1
jesus christ, what a mess of a thread. No, you cannot bore the b18b/a to the size of a b20 (84mm), that puts you way outside of the service limit for bore because you take too much away from the cast iron liner in the sleeve. Best way to get 2.0 is to either get a b20 block or have your b18 sleeved to 84mm. Options include darton, benson, la sleeves, ge, rsmachines, etc. RSmachines and LA sleeves might be on the cheaper side compared to darton and benson in terms of price and still be able to handle anything you can throw at it.

Re: bore and resleeve b18b1
Is anyone actually reading the OPs original post? He said that he knows the block will have to be sleeved..... he is looking for any thoughts from people with experience sleeving a B18...... What's so F#@king hard to understand here? I don't see the need for all the BS about boring the stock block.

Re: bore and resleeve b18b1
Do you have sleeves?
He was asking about personal experiences, Pros and Cons I would assume. What sleeves to run, who to have install them? That kind of stuff..... In the time you spent telling him to do research, you could have given him some actual information or at least a link maybe.
Typical H-T..... Have you tried the search function on this forum.... Most times if it can't find anything in the first second it gives you the days posts. Then 9 times out of 10 they don't even relate to what you were searching for.....
Cheers

Re: bore and resleeve b18b1
Yet you keep posting and not giving him any info. To OP, sleeve it. Id get it done by GE, look into them.
As for searching Google it works completely fine . Like I said he needs to research not be spoon fed, his question is pretty vauge and doesn't really seem to know what he's asking. Google will tell him everything he needs to know
