hey guys i just got my LS long block today and im planning on doing ls/vtec.. my question is do i have to buy new sleeves for it? or just keep the stock ones.

 

Depending on the condition, you should be ok. Was it a running motor when you recieved the block?

 

yea i think.. its out of a 95 integra going on my ek coupe..

 

sleeves?!? why would you need new sleeves bro, just look at it, if the sleeves looked fucked up or has ALOT of miles on it, a fresh honing wouldnt hurt

 

also im wanting a b16a head.. noww wut is p72 or sumthin like that.. wuts the difference between p72 head and some other type of P? thanks

 

yeah im guessing you do just to be on the safe side bro...

wow not to be an ******* and all that but please go search, you have alot to learn my friend, and P72 is a gsr head

 

might wanna hone the sleeves so the new piston rings seat properly...what kind of pistons you looking to get?

the head...well...most people would choose the GSR (P72) head over the B16 (PR3) cuz the GSR one puts down a little more torque compared to the B16. The B16 head flows better than the GSR one though...so it's a toss up...it's your call

im either getting ITR pistons or maybe p30's.. not sure tho.

 

Your on the right track bro, just research a few things, and if your even alittle unsure about building an engine then get alot of help or pay a good shop to do it. If your sleeves are in good condition then all they will need is a good hone to seat the rings good.

In no way am I trying to correct you or be a smart ***.....but how does a GSR head give more torque? I did hear it would give a bit more compression. Would the slight bump in compression result in more tourque?
