Im trying to find a b18c block for a street turbo build up for my Integra. If he still has the block I'll ask to see some pictures. if it seems all right I'll offer him $250. What should I look/ask for before I offer him $. What does this mean "ridge is in spec as well as out of round and taper"

Thanks for all the help!

 

comon, anyone???

 

I wouldn't buy anything over the internet man, if you can't see it in person I wouldn't do it. Always buy something that you can look at and check out in person. I know its cheap but they're maybe something wrong that you dont know about.

 

ditto.

 

I know what your sayin. I wish I didn't have to resort to the internet, but my area is kinda blocked off from the import world. I would have no problem if I were lookin for a chevy or ford block, I could get one for like $50 buscks probably, but no chance of a b18c block. I only know of 3 GSR's in my area and I doubt any of them would sell me their block. I know, Im going to be different and try to stuff a 350 v8 in my integra, it will screem!!!!

Ridge= The top ridge due to material push-up by the piston rings.
Out of round= The "roundness" of the cylinder.
Taper= Difference in diameter between the top of the cylinder and the bottom.

All within spec is good, but a true blueprinting would be better.

Milton is north of NYC
giev someone from this board 50 bucks to go check it out and take pics of it..
then at least youll have an idea of what your buying.

 

good idea. I'll give the member list a search for members in that area.

 

I don't plan on using the block as is. I will have it sleeved by Golden Eagle. Je pistons, Eagle Rods.

Have him send it COD, that way you can refuse it if it's a POS.

 

besides like a hole in the side of the block, would anything that could be wrong with it be fixed by a machine shop. Maybe while it is being sleeve at Golden Eagle?
