just looking for some opinions...... do they look like they are in good shape?

 

they look pretty warn

 

jus give ema clean and ur gd to go man

 

Set 1 and 4 to tdc then take your fingernail and go sideways across the cylinder walls to make sure there is no scarring. If your nail catches, you need to hone them. Repeat by setting 2 and 3 to TDC and check cylinders 1 and 4.

 

u dont need sleeves if you have a closed deck right?

incorrect. even the closed deck blocks have FRM sleeves in them. if you are going to run forged pistons, sleeve it. reguardless of deck type.

You might be thinking of a block guard.

I'm curious, where does a block guard go? any pictures of one installed?
I'm thinking it's something at goes around the sleeves in an open deck block to sort of reinforce them a little.

edit: found a picture of one i got it

 

^ you are correct, the block guard goes in a open top to reinforce it.

block guards help prevent sleve movement. with a closed deck you do not need one. hell you cant use one. but on an open deck i would highly suggest it. that $100 piece could save your engine over time. worth the piece of mind IMHO.

 

yea i was thinking of block gaurds dont mind me im shortbus.

 

its closed deck so I don't need a block guard. it have alreasy been sleeved with iron sleeves. So far they are smooth accross the cylinders, the block only has 1000 miles on it after the rebuild but somthing didn't look right.
