make sure the main caps are there
make sure the sleeves haven't sank
and look at the overall condition of the block.

sleeves look ok from pics. main caps are not there. its basically bare. it hasnt been touched after it came back from GE. but outside of motor doenst make it look like it was cleaned very well, is every motor ge does clean when it comes back?

You can't tell if sleeves look ok from the pictures. I mean GEM only recommends an 85mm bore. If you have problems you might have 0.05mm room to bore.
