Their have been recent threads about the sleeves dropping. Thats the only bad i've heard about them.

One member here is fighting with them to repair his block it lasted like 1200 miles before the sleeves dropped.

b20a <--that's old prelude RIGHT? don't do it.

That's right, you can't believe everything you read, especially on the internet. There are a ton of things you can do wrong when assembling and tuning a motor. People are real quick to point the finger when something goes wrong. Golden Eagle does good work. Everyone is human and sometimes makes mistakes. I'm not saying they never mess up, but they generally do good work. I don't think there is a machine shop out there that has successfully done as many honda blocks as golden eagle.

why do you say not to do it?

GE is bad *** i guanrantee you wont go wrong with them

CheezeFrog

There's one or two people here that are having problems with their sleeves (and in one case it doesn't even sound sleeve related). There are hundreds more who have absolutely no problems at all with GE. But do a search on those people who have no problems and you'll come up blank. People don't post their success stories here. Only people who have problems post them here -- all two of them.

i think he is referring to your actual motor. i think i read somewhere that this was one of hondas worst motors. anyone?

BoostedB20A

Actually, the stock motor that was in my car, the b21a1, is horrible. The worst in my opinion. But I replaced that engine with the jdm version, the b20a. This is a great engine, no problems at all, that is why I am building this one. Thanks for all the help guys. I think I am going to take a chance with GE. Anyone know if GE will pin my sleeves? I also need a good head gasket. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

autoEXturbo

gsr block sleeved, 10psi 326hp to the wheels on pump gas.

i wish i would have gotten a gsr instead of an ls motor. didnt have the cash though.

Gold Eagle is good stuff, they send a butressed sleeve, no pinning required.
