i believe....and dont quote me on this (might want to inquire with endyn about it) that when you post the block it desorts the shape of the sleeve some, so yes it would have to be bored to match the new shape.

I wouldn't bother with block posting, especially if you already had it bored and honed for your pistons. It is unneeded.

pretty much nothign you do to slok sleeves is going to make it hold up any better than just running them. The cnx cylinder support system is the only thing that is supposed to help but in all honesty the stock sleeves can only handle so much power with or without support and its not worth the effort or funds.

Posting a block is a old school method of strengthening the block/sleeves, google it. I would not do this either run stock sleeves with forged pistons and rods or sleeve the block and go all out.

I googled it

But im guessing im not a moron since this looks like the most ghetto way to add strength to the sleeves. Glad I went with a dart block instead of having to depend on doing crazy stuff like this lol.

Amazing what you can learn from google and people of ht lol cuz I was like wtf?

It's basically puttin bolts touching the load portion of the sleeve to theoretically reduce cylinder wall flex and cracking but it doesn't work. Stock sleeves will crack regardless what you do to try and support them. It's super thin material and it's not designed to handle the power we put through them plain and simple. If your going for more than 450-500whp the. You need to sleeve end of thred

yea b16 rods, its better than aftermarket in the long run cuz aftermarket rods use brass fitting, which only last bout 10-15k. (from what ive read and been told).. im building this for dd, low boost

Aftermarket rods are stronger than Oem and they don't wear out in 15k miles. I've got over 25k on my motor with eagle rods and Those are brass bushings and my buddy's got same rods with 45-50k miles no issues

I think that with many more companies offering sleeving services at more affordable prices (and with time comes easier manufacturability) I would either leave the sleeves stock for more modest power levels and sleeve the block for big numbers.

Lets leave posting blocks for the muscle car guys

Posting is old school but somewhat effective procedure. A lot of budget V8 builds guys do will be posted before machine work. This is an alternative to filling or cementing internal water jackets to strengthen cylinder walls, the posting is more for nitrous or low boost applications. I personally don't recommend it for Honda Blocks, the Golden Eagle Block guard focuses on the main flex danger areas while still allowing adequate coolant flow. Machine work will be necessary when installing either of these options I.E; Cylinder hone/final hone, upper block decking and in some cases line honing on the mains.

I personally have used the Golden Eagle HD race sleeves in my previous fully built GSR build, it will give the most bang for your buck hands down. The choice is yours though.
