cylinder walls...need new hone?
well, was looking at some threads yesterday and came upon some cylinder wall topics. So after reading, I decided to go take a look at mine. What do you guys think of this....the block has been sitting for 3 1/2 years...maybe more. I bought it from a buddy, who bought it but never installed it. I finally took it off his hands a couple of days ago. He said the guys who had it before him said the block has less then 800 miles, plus it was boosted...ls-vtec turbo, and the block is sleeved. Well, here's the pics...

if the motor is not in the car yet. i would hone the block, but it looks fine. you should check all clearance on the block over, since the block was built a few years ago.

I'd take it apart, check the clearances, get it honed, then re-assemble it.

IF you use a dingle berry to clean up the walls you can stick w/your stock pistons & rings...BUT if you bore it .5 over you will need to get a new set of pistons/rings.

Re: cylinder walls...need new hone? (ExVtec)
wouldn't you want to use new rings, even if its just a new hone? But for the bearings and stuff...could they just be used or does it have to be new too?

Re: cylinder walls...need new hone? (methos713)
yeah you should use new rings if you overbore or not. try a hone first and see how it cleans up. that last cyl looks kinda rough for just a hone to fix, might have to go .020 over...
