took apart a b18b1 today everything looked fine but when i took apart the head and block, i noticed a slight chip on the outer wall of cylinder sleeve #1 located on the front when looking at the motor. will this be a problem? Its not half way close to the inner cylinder wall. Any suggestions. Motor was running fine btw.

So the chip is on the coolant passage side of the sleeve?
That would be a non issue.

i have the same issue. i basically overheated still after i repaced thermosat radiator waterpump and hoses and cap.my mechanic said its a headgasket but the head is new .. i though they probly used an old gasket.. but apparently its a chip on block . so where gonna use indian glue to seal it hopefully.. if u know what i should do hmu pls

it may be salvageable and it may not. your better off having some one weld to the sleeve to fill the chip then have the top decked to flatten the surface flush with the rest of the block. the indian glue sounds like some jerry rigging and may not hold to the heat. im sure if the block is sleeved then your going to be trying to put alot of power and stress on this motor. not something id use jb weld or any cold weld or glue to fill the void. goodluck pics would help us out more to understand the problem and how bad it is.
