Ding ding ding...Golden Eagle sleeved block.You can carefully scrape the carbon off with a single edge razor blade and some scotchbrite.

 

Just make sure everything is in order and assemble it. It will continue to have the "black stuff" only few minutes of starting the motor anyway.

 

just leave the carbon alone... just assemble it, if you want to clean it up afterwards run some water though it.

 

seafoam and a toothbrush...worked for me.

 

I'm very curious, how do you end up with a block and not know it was sleeved? The difference between a sleeved block and stock block is about $600-900. Either you thought you were getting ripped off, or someone besides you & the seller got ripped off...

Exactly what I was thinking. That or the block is [freak]ed up and he doesn't know it.

 

i got the block for 1 grand.............build........je piston, eagle rod and block guard..he sold it for 1300 but i talk to him and he lower it to 1000, cuz he need money for school...........good deal or not........piston ring seem to be good. still shinning and crome..............block turns fairly well...........os its a golden eagle block guard.........

 

iam talking about the black stuff around the sleeves.........where the gasket set...will it leak........

its not a block guard, its a sleeved block

 

Looks fine to me. My old head did that cause it had a composite head gasket. No biggie.

You could always get it decked.

 

so a new gasket and a head should be fine.........no oil or coolant leak.......

 

it's not a block gaurd it is part of the ge sleeves and yes if it is in good shape 1000 is a freakin steal it cost about 3000 or more to build a sleeved short block ie crank work rods pistons pumps machie work

 

whats the max hp i can make on this block with a bone stock gsr head.........i mean stock..everything except the intake manifold....running blox.........i mean turbo it.....

 

Its hard to estimate hp on just a block. If this block is genuinely ok, I would build the head (valves,springs,retainers and possibly cams) .. that block (with a built head) can push 500hp .. this is of course assuming everything is healthy and you join a good turbo setup to it and supporting mods.

 

iam looking to get at least..........400.....will a stock head handle up to that much...trying to get a t3/t4 garrett

 

yes/

get a gt30r and you will hit those goals.

cant belvie you dont know what a sleeved block looks like

You dont have to have a GTxxR (ballbearing) turbo to make good power, this bandwagon is getting out of control. A simple thrust bearing (normal turbo) will make 400 Hp.

There are many ways to make HP. yes you can make 400hp on a stock head, just don't rev it higher than stock specifications. You can make 400hp on a non-sleeved block.

If you're concerned about cash, I would look into a t3/t4 turbo. Such as a 60-1, you could even use a 57trim turbo, it may just require a higher boost level.

X2.. and by the way you type your posts you are hard to understand. Sounds like your not to familiar with turbo setups, my advise is find a good reputable shop and go talk to them and learn up

 

now i do.........i just research about it.......will a t3 50 trim able to handle my goal.

 

what exhaust housing is on the 50 trim?

 

63ar 5 bolt with internal wastegate, to a 3 bolt

 

are you talking about a straight t3 turbo? If you are I think you are selling yourself short. Straight t3 turbos max out around 350whp, I would at least get a t3/t4.
