so here is this block i picked up and saw this chip on the cylinder wall and was wanting to know if its ok or not. and yes i kow i spelled cylinder wrong on the title

 

Honest answer. Your rings wont come that high.
I'd sand it to make sure its flush and wont scar anything.. But your HG will cover that,.. I'd be worried about the scarring effects.. but that wont hurt anything power wise.. it shouldn't at least.

How'd that happen?

 

i have no clue i just got it like that but if it was you would you keep it or get your money back

 

I dont think that would effect much of your rings it will never raise that high your p2w clearence looks a little tight or maybe was assembled dirty i would be wurried ab that.

 

so i take it that i should get my money back then right?

 

How far does the chip go down? Can you have the block decked to remove it?

 

dude, if we're questioning it this much, it shouldn't be a problem to say hey, this isn't the way it could have gone.


take it to a machine shop, have them look at it.

 

id sand it a little bit and run it, i seriously doubt its going to cause any problems as nothing will even touch that except for the headgasket

 

i can imgaine that over time of usage with the current state that the chipped wall is in, will result in a mojor hot spot. that being that it will potentially separate.

 

deck it to raise the compression and run it .....or sleeve it and forget about it

 

thanks for all the opinions fellas it was a big help but yeah i think ima take it to a machine shop and have them check it out and see what they say

 

quick question the block is a b18c with type r pistons is 600 to much for the block or it it and ok price

 

Something to think about . . . that chip may not interfere with the head gasket but it is now a stress raiser and if that block is going to crack it is most likely going to emanate from that chipped area.

 

If that's what you paid for it used, unbalanced, then no, you got ripped off. If that's what you paid for it freshly rebuilt and properly balanced, then yes, that's a good price. I normally run across gsr blocks for around $200. ITR pistons and rings (RS Machine $190), new ACL bearings and gaskets around $100. Press out old pistons and install new ones, over bore, hone, deck, and balance ($150-200)

 

i have same isssue u do it causes my car to overheat.. im not sure if u should pay my buddy 400 to take block off and take it to machine if they can do it.. or should i just put a good 3 layer gasket on it and seal the crack with indian glue
