86mm GE Sleeves, possible?
hey guys i have this ge sleeved and o-ringed b20 that is just about 86mm. I have decided to re-sleeve it if i use it at all. Just wanted to double check on here and get your guys opinions. Everyone i have spoken to thinks its pretty much a waste of money and time to try and use it how it is, and i agree. just thought id be sure. 500whp is the goal as well.
thanks
thanks

86.mm on FI is not a good idea. I would send it in to get resleeved. In the long / short run if you don't resleeve you would be spending more, than if you would have started fresh with a resleeve.

OP, there you go, $550 for a resleeve. How much more would you end up spending if you were to build the block and have it take a sh*t on you?
great customer service GE.

lol i honestly want to, but i cant hardly afford to buy and assemble everything once. I definitely dont want to do it twice. plus it will be a daily driver and see some long distance trips. reliability is very important

Even if you found an idiot, I mean NA guy to buy it for a decent price, you'd still be paying about as much to get a sleeved LS block from GE. In the end I'd choose the resleeving, due to it being a good deal. I'd go with 83-85mm, depending on the goal.
