i am soon going to purchase an h22 motor and not exactly sure which one. i want to get it sleeved and i heard that the closed deck block is more expensive than the open deck block because it is much harder. is this true? hos about the prices? how much is normal to pay to have sleeves repaced on a block with sleeves of my choice? im thinking of darton but not sure. please tell me all comments opinions and everything. thanks

 

If you are going to sleeve it anyway, go ahead and get the open deck motor. They are the newer versions that tend to be in a little better shape anyway.

Or look for a good deal on a blown motor, might get you some cool bonus goodies in the process

 

closed deck.

if you are going to sleeve it anyway, then it does not matter if it is newer or older.

 

how is a close deck better?

 

A closed deck is more solid than an open deck. Just ask the Supra guys running 30 lbs on the stock block.

 

i am asking if it would be cheaper to have new sleeves put on an open deck or a closed deck?

 

on that note, if you went for a newer block you would have some interesting crankshaft options if you were in to that kind of thing...

 

Call the company of your choice and ask them how much it would be to sleeve the block the way you want it.

True, but once you sleeve it you can easily get a semi-closed deck. That will run all the boost you want.

Bingo! 97mm crank in a sleeved H22 block=

I would go with a closed deck block for added stregnth . As far as price for sleeving a open or closed deck block , It's all the same no added price for either platform. The only difference is in the compression. Jdm motors (closed deck) is higher . I've also heard the debate about cooling issues with closed/open platforms and thats b.s. as well. Go with the added security knowing that the closed deck sleeves have no room to move.

 

ill prolly get a jdm closed deck. ill just do more research before my final decisionn
