First of all, let me tell you the history of this b16 block I have. It was running boost at the dyno when the dyno technician revved it up to 10.5 and cracked number 3 cylinder.

My question is, can that sleeved be replaced with another aftermarket sleeve or is the block trashed?

Bored 84mm

Open deck

Brand I have no idea but here's a picture of the block

you have to replace all the sleeves

 

anyone else?

 

b16 blocks can be had for $100 complete. just get another one

 

There aftermarket though. I dunno if there benson,aebs or etc.

 

looks like those aebs t sleeves...def not benson. i have a benson block and they look nothing like that. get it re-sleeved or buy the one in the forced induction classifieds for $650

 

anyone else?

 

wow what psi?

 

disagree. sleeves in b16 are individual. you can replace one at shop that knows honda blocks. have had to do it on my dart block. but seriously, 10k+, wtf were you doing there? this takes big dollar valvetrain and overall work of HUGE money to make power there. seems more like either your or dyno shop was trying show how big their you know what is by going there.

 

i'd like to see a better pic of the block, some after market sleeves can indeed be replace individually, why did the tuner rev it to 10.5krpm?

 

don't know the answer but those aren't open deck sleeves btw
look like aebs t-sleeves though

 

Cant tell anything from the picture, but I highly doubt you cracked an aftermarket sleeve especially at 10.5k rpm. Alot of us rev that high or higher every pass and the sleeves certainly are not the weak link. Are you sure you didnt damage something else or possibly a sleeve sunk?

 

there aebs t sleeves. would love to see a better pic of the crack because they should hold up no problem. what bore are you at now?

 

Ok the machine shop called back and yes #3 is cracked. What do i do now?

 

have it re sleeved

 

that really sucks. I've rarely ever heard of cracking aftermarket sleeves.

really? I've seen a lot, detonation will break anything... I'm sure thats what it was, opposed to boost/horsepower... or just a **** poor install job...

 

Ok im looking for a aebs t sleeve I guess. s.o.s
