Im ready to order my sleeves, yet im really unsure as to which sleeve is correct for me, and im also having trouble matching the correct piston to the sleeve. could some one please assist me? the specs to the sleeves can be found here:

Then go to "our products" on the left, then click "honda" -->scroll down

If you scroll down to the bottom, you see the applications for the "honda kit" i need the B16 applications. could someone please explain the Bore, OD, and wall #s to me. please guys, dont just read and move on, im really looking for advice here.

my goal is 400 HP, street driven, and im going with pistons next, but i feel i need to understand waht these #s mean before i can move on. any help, would be MUCh appreciated

They didn't respond because they all looked in the -racing sleeves- section. You need to tell the to go to the manufactured sleeves section. Honda's aren't really considered "RACE" cars yet. There's only one company making racing versions of the Honda engines so far. How many shops do you know of that make chevy clone blocks? I'm sure a lot more. (As in casting the blocks.)

Bore is the..........well bore of the cylinder. You know like the circumfrence of the circle part. Im guessing OD stand for outer diameter. And I dont know what the wall numbers are for. Maybe you can call them up and ask them what it means.

Mr. Vapor

sorry, good point.

On the left tool bar, click "Products" -->Manufactered sleeves---> Honda

As far as the numbers go those are the available dimensions they make the sleeves in. I've never checked out the Darton stuff. I've heard they're swappable. It's a good concept. I wonder if it's avalid claim anyone know?

Hey man, I can take care of you on that. They have direct part numbers for the b series motors. For the B series they have 2 available, basically just to save the boring machine if you want a large bore size (ie 84.5). They come in an 81.xx bore and an 83.xxmm bore.
Give me a call and I can set you up with competitive pricing. I can also have the service provided to you. If you would like to see some info on my Darton block check out my post here. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=345229
Give the store a call or me personally (not at the shop too often) on my cell at 610-999-6299.
