Default I'm in a delima

Just found out that my GSR block needs to be machine. I figure if it needs to be machine i should just bore it out, but i dunno to where i should bore it out to. So i was also thinking about buildind a B20b Vtec would be cheaper. Which way would you go? I want it to be reliable too..

Don't go past 82mm with the stock sleeves. If you want to use B20 pistons (84mm), have the block sleeved.

then he would have to buy a new head, and redo his block. whats the point in that? the gsr head will have higher compression, and imho is a better head. but thats my opinion. so no war about that.

id say find a good b20long block and put your head on that. b20s are cheap.
