from what i have learned on honda-tech is that the sleeves used in the h22 are frm. they are not the weak point of the block, its the ringlands that give out. If i bought a new set of pistons slightly larger with some new rods and ringlands could i just bore the stock sleeves slightly larger? does it make the block weaker? If i did bore the block out slightly so that i could put new pistons, rods, and ringlands in without sending my block away could the block still handle about 250whp?

 

what pistons did you buy?

ringlands are part of the piston

 

^really i had no clue, i always thought it was a seperate part. I am still a noob so bare with me. I did not buy any yet this is why i am asking.

 

yes its the area between where the rings sit

 

my bad. Ok well then i meant to say rings. anyway back to the real question. Can the stock sleeves be bored out a little more and still be safe?

 

well honda makes OS pistons so yes. But im not the most knowledgable person on this matter so lets see what everyone else has to say.
