Viren is the man!!! (56k dont try it!)
Setup is:
B18b block
GE Sleeves
Crower Rods
JE 9.5:1
GSR Block Girdle
Stock Honda Bearings
Balanced by Viren
I must say that the customer service from VS Racing and Viren is top notch! He kept me updated with the progress of my block and answered all of my questions. I highly recomend him to anyone that wants their block built.
This is my only concern though...
Shouldnt there be copper o-rings in the grooves arounds each of the pistions?? If so is this something I can install with a rubber mallet or something?
Thanks alot for looks and for everyones help.

buy a copper wires, make sure they are soft kind, I believe they are 18 gauge wires.
they're about 3-4 bucks for 10 ft which is more than you need...
use the wooden end of the hammer and slowly tap it into the groove....
run the o-ring, it's there, use it to help it seal better....Also, use STOCK headgasket if you are running the O-ring...
it's not that hard, it only took me 10 minutes to do all 4..
I'll upload the pics of mine tmw

Re: Viren is the man!!! (accordfreak)
how I wish I could get my old B18C block (and my B20B block) resleeved
what's stopping me? international shipping companies like UPS and FedEx charging ridiculous amounts of money to have my block sent to the US from Thailand

Re: Viren is the man!!! (Kwuaymaikrup)
the Ge blocks come with groove for the o-ring and usually an envelope with copper wire. it gives you step by step instructions on how to put the o-rings in. its pretty straight forward.

Re: Viren is the man!!! (MotorMatrix.com)
did you just send him a bare block or did you already buy everything and sent it to him?
looks awesome!
looks awesome!
Well damn, I'm turned on. That price doesn't sound too painful either. How long was the block out for work?
Thanks alot for the inputs everyone.
*EDIT* I cant read!!

2.5 months isn't too bad. I usually store my car for longer than that over winter. I guess I should start saving my pennies.
