It isnt worth it...the block is a B20Z...which means the owner paid more for the original block than he would of if he would of just went with a B18B block. If he was going to sleeve it..he should of just went with the B18B sleeved and bored to 84mm..just my 2 pennies.

First off, that isnt a sleeved block. Second off you are not supposed to use a copper head gasket with a copper o-ringed block. Third off, that has got to be the worst motor honda ever made with the shitty rod ratio that is has. Forth off, I wouldn/t have paid that much for a normal B20 built.

y do u say it isnt sleeved. everything that is mentioned above is what has been done from golden eagle. and yeah we do have one of the shittiest r/s ratio but my car stock is still faster than any civic stock except for an si which my car will still hang with those. so its not worth it? where could i get all this done for cheaper

Sounds like an import builders block judging by the price and work (or lack there of).
