shouldn't hmotors replace the motor? I wouldn't rebuild it if I have a warranty. Unless you plan to upgrade.

I would have the block honed to 87mm and get some high compression wisecos and call it a day. That motor looks like it had waaaaaayyy more than 35k on it. I'd call them and send picks or tell them to give some of your money back.

That is a great block for a f23 crank and 87mm piston set up. Just threwing ideas out there . Its already got steal sleeves you could bore to 86mm and run k20 pisotns on a f23 crank and have a nasty all motor build . What ever you decide im sure it will turn out nicely . I have two f23 crank builds going right now . One completed and the other im starting on . If you need any info ley me know . 97mm stroke equals lots of power but if your going to auto cross it stay with the f20b crank it will work better for that good luck.

I used a custom set of pistons made by CP centered around an Eagle universal rod made for a B series

you can actually get any size piston ranging from 85-87mm and if you decide to go with a 87mm piston you can use a stock h22a head gasket.
