hey guys, any help would be appreciated. and i would like to thank yall in advance. i tried looking thru the forums. i was thinking about getting lower compression pistons with new rods and bearings, but didn't want to resleeve the block (gsr block). is it necessary to resleeve my block if i get new pistons, rings, blah blah blah, etc...
links or whatever would be helpful, thx fellaz.

no not necessary ... u can just bore and hone and put in rods and pistons.

sleeving is extra insurance


heheh i got a sleeved GSR block for 1300$ picked up.

 

I am not sleeving my lsvtec and shooting for 400whp, but i did replace rods and pistons though.

 

The debate on whether to sleeve or not would go on and on and on. IMO if you want the extra assurance of a well built bottom end and comfort (along with enjoyment) of higher boost levels, do yourself a favor and sleeve your block or buy a sleeved block. You can never go wrong with a sturdy, RELIABLE iron sleeves. Of course, proper tuning does help too! LOL

 

thx.
