Just like it says. This picture is from. Years ago, do not have the option of taking the head off right now. Do you think this motor is sleeved? Or on stock gsr sleeves? Also feel free to take a guess on piston size. (couldn't hurt)

Those definitely do not look like stock sleeves.

La sleeves. 84mm?

kyden

judging by the support being so low in the water jacket, it's probably golden eagle.

Take a picture facing straight down...its hard to tell from this angle. Definitely doesn't look like stock sleeves though

I think the motor is together and that's the only pix he has from when it wasn't

angryhillbilly

Correct

Schister66

That makes my request a bit tricky

kyden

domed pistons?

I agree with this. It looks like u can c the support on the one cylinder but when I zoom in it gets fuzzy and u can't really see for sure. But I'm almost certain they're not stock sleeves and it looks like the bore is fairly large, probably around 84 but it is really hard to judge from that pic lol

yeah that block is sleeved looks like GE sleeve

angryhillbilly

thanks guys. And yes domed Pistons. Lol they exist. 11.5:1 2.0L

Look like GE sleeves.

they could be GE or Darton MID sleeves, without being able to see the top of the sleeve and the upper support design it's hard to tell but it definitely is sleeved

a dead giveaway for OEM sleeves is they are two different materials with two different colors, the outer sleeve support is aluminum (silver/grey) while the inner is iron (darker grey) and they'll be open deck.

that block is defiantly sleeved you can see the marks where the supports rubbed when pressed in and the small dabs of epoxy between the sleeves and there all steel around the top not steel and alum like an oem block

tepid1

That's 100% GE sleeves. The machine marks and the wear marks from pressing in the sleeves give it away.

Schister66

After you point it out, I have to agree...you can see the scuffing around the edges in the same pattern as the GE sleeves

angryhillbilly

Awesome, thanks for all the help guys. Anyone want to buy a silver ek coupe? Lol its got this motor in it.

Sell me the block.. Looking for something sleeved...

angryhillbilly

Lol no can do. Sorry. It is a beautiful car though. Prolly the cleanest ek I see around these days, specially where I live (Midwest).

I know I'm kind of thread jacking. But since it appears the OP had gotten an answer, and I have the exact same question.....

Zaridar

Assuming that's a block guard but other than that is this just a stock GSR Block?

angryhillbilly

Looks like stock sleeves to me. Via what I have learned from other people talking about mine. (the two colors of two different materials) that make up the stock sleeves.

Zaridar

Ahhhh I now finally get what they mean. The sleeve itself is two diff colors/ materials. For some reason I was thinking. Sleeve color vs rest of block..

I'm taking a guess here.

I think the outside is cast with an iron sleeve inside on the stock blocks.

When a block gets sleeved its a full sleeve pressed into the block on the very bottom of the block.
