I don't know if that's what it's called, but here goes.

I've seen these for B series engines but I'm doubting it's available for the H22a. Basically rather than spending the $$$$ to sleeve the block, you can buy a 'forged' block. Does someone make these? Are they cheaper then sleeving or more? TIA

 

are you talking about a block guard? That piece of garbage that fits around the top of the cylindars in the water jacket?

 

no idea, you're right it's probably something else. I was wondering if there is an alternative to sleeving the block, I'm guessing NO.

 

Dart makes an aftermarket B-series Honda block. Maybe that's what your referring to. It's not forged, its cast, but really beefed up over the stock casting. I don't know if they make if for the lude tho'

 

i know they don't have them available for the h22a yet.

 

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN!

It's cast (forged, cast I wasn't sure what the diff was anyway). So IF it was made for the H22a could forged pistons be run in it? Since that whole H22a/FRM coating thing would be gone. Too bad nobody makes it. How much does the B-series block go for. I'm trying to contrast it with the price of sleeving. All theoretical since there isn't a aftermarket block available.
