Sleeve or Bore
OK, I have a b20... and I was thinking of sleeving it to 85mm
if I want to go to 86mm or larger do I have to bore out the block?
(or is this just a terrible idea)?

I used to have a picture archive on alot of block pics. Unfortunately, they got erased and I can't share what we had seen.
the B18 stock sleeves are better to work with. the foundation on the b20 sleeves are not as solid as the b18. If you're going to sleeve anyways, better use a b18 since its the same thing anyway after you sleeve it.

but aren't aftermerket sleeves made out of stronger material?
Why should it matter if I sleeve a b20 vs a b18
I'd still like some proof on this, everyone says don't do it, but no reason why

because honda didnt mean to have a b20 rev out to 10k to make its peak power
duh. why didnt they? because they wanted torque.
why did they want torque? because it was going in an suv.
why did they make an suv? because honda wanted to an suv lineup.

what I mean is... what is it about the foundation that makes it weak (as compared to a b18)
and most of the b18s weren't buit to ver to 10,000 either
I don't want to rev my b20 to 10,000, I don't even want 8,000
