so i had a golden eagle sleaved gsr bottom end. rod threw and cracked a hole in the block. my buddy was like i can fix that no problem. so i was like what the heck he is willing to do it might as well let him try cause right now the block is crap.

so now do you guys think this will work?

i have no clue what he used to weld it.

 

im no expert but that doesnt look too shabby

 

Welds look ok ish. I can't really see where the hole itself was but it looks like he could have benfited from fitting the replacement pieces in there a little better so he doesn't have welds on top of welds and filling in holes etc...But yeah I know that **** is no fun to weld trust me, I ******* hate welding trans, blocks or heads cuz of all the oil soaked into it so the never turn out that pretty.


Are the eagles wet sleeves? I'm not up on my honda knowledge

 

engine degreaser owns you lol.

looks decent to me

wet sleeves? if you are referring to coolant and being solid block no

 

how does it look from the inside?, is the real question.

no I was refering to darton style sleeves where the AL surronding the the sleeves is machined away. If they are dry sleeves and there was damage to the AL supporting the sleeve and that was welded as well as the outside damage I would be concerned. I'm hoping they are wet sleeves or the rods didnt touch the sleeves at all when they snapped. When mine did that they fucked up pretty much everything in sight.

yeah good luck taking a picture of that lol.

 

yea the inside of the sleave is a lil messed up but im just going to get it re sleeved. cause thats a lot cheaper than a new block. he said it was hard to weld cause of all the oil and everything. but hey for free block welding if this will hold up i wont complain.

let me try and get a pic of the inside

 

any reason why you just didnt buy another block? its going to have to be resleeved anyways

 

I'm a Ford guy and know zilch about the Honda blocks, but the area of damage appears to be just above the crank centerline and in what appears to be an oil return galley from the heads. Pretty shure that will not affect the sleeves at all, but like I said, I'm not familiar with your blocks, just basing this off the pictures.

already had this block so its cheaper there.. and its already been sleeved once so its only 450 to get it redone by golden eagle instead of the 900

saves me a lot of money on something that would normaly be just throw away

 

oh I see, i didnt realize its cheaper to get it redone on me

 

Make sure to get the block checked out for possible warpage during welding.
