Engine Buildup Question.
This isn't R related....but there are some more technically inclined people in this forum so I thought I would give it a shot.
I have a Integra LS, the block has @130,000 miles on it. I have JE pistons (standard bore) and eagle rods that i am going to have installed.
My question is should my block be ok for the pistons, or should I either find a low mileage LS block or have the sleeves redone.
If you guys recommend having the sleeves redone, what would the parts cost and how difficult is it to do?

Re: Engine Buildup Question. (Four Door LS VTEC)
all depends on how well the cylinder walls hone out- if they are very scored then you need to either bore it out and get oversized piston/rings, re sleeve it (call your local machine shop for costs- I have seen it vary ALOT, so call around), or simply get a block with less wear (not just less milage, less WEAR)
