Im looking to buy an extra GSR block for my new build. I found this block for a good deal but im not sure if its fixable. My plans were to have it bored .5mm over since I already have some wiseco 81.55 mm low comp pistons. Do u think that .5mm overbored would clean up the cylinder wall? What about the top of the sleeve? Your help is appreciated.

 

that's hard to say. bore it, measure it,hone it, measure again. walls to thin?

 

if u got it re sleeved id say yes but those chips are pretty big i think the walls would be to thin if u try to bore it out

 

Might need to bore it then have it decked to see if you can fix everything.

I would prob pass on it though.. Looks like its had a hard life.

 

ya I know its really impossible to tell from pics if a .5mm overbore will be enough to clean up the walls. If The seller was closer I might take the chance. But its a 3 hr drive

 

if it's cheap enough.. maybe have him meet you halfway. Get it, and maybe sleeve it in the future.

 

$200 and i have to drive all the way lol

 

damn, screw that man. i wouldn't do it. For one the drive, two the cost for just a bare block that needs some decent work? not a good deal man IMO....

 

block, crank and mains?

 

Only way to repair that would be to resleeve, that chip on the deck is too much.

 

i wouldn't trust that. those are pretty big chips.

that pic in particular, don't think even decking it would make a good surface for the headgasket to mate (it looks corroded a bit further than surface rust) even if it was decked i think it'd be a gamble for head gasket issues.

edit- err meant if it was milled off it wouldn't be worth it*
