For further proof I will attempt to get a hold of a 81mm integra piston to show you that it will not work with this block. Only other thing I had to show proof was by using the measuring tape and the cylinder was quite larger that the 3.19inches that 81mm equals.

sorry about the quality of the pic but as you can see the sleeve is well past the stock 3.19inches and somewhere in between the 3.3-3.35inches that an 84mm-84.5mm cylinder is

Whether it's Benson's or not, you should know better. The 'witness' marks (sleeve separation between each cylinder wall) can clearly be seen in those pix and that shows that it is indeed a sleeved block. Stock-sleeve block do not have those witness marks (all 4 cylinder is one piece).

I thought my RS sleeved block had a little RS marked on it somewhere. But just went to go look at it and couldn't really find it. My block is really dirty with oil and dirt everywhere so it might be covered.
Anyways bump
(lemme know if you want to part the ls crank later)

Thank you 209lsr_ly and Ricer no 7, I'll try to give it another look over see if I can find any unique marking but nothing seemed noticeable.

I don't think rs stamps there blocks cause I got a b16b and a b18c1 sleeved block by rs n there is no marking. As long as the sleeves can hold 32lbs of boost it doesn't matter who sleeved it.
Damn I can't believe it's not sold yet.

I don't think you can bore more than 86mm safely. Cuz there a gasket sealing problem. correct me if i'm wrong.
