What did you do to get the block so clean? I'm doing the same build up and pulled the motor last week, but it looked like crap. Leaky cam seal, leaky oil pan gasket, leaky this, leaky that. You know. I was just curious.

Yes the cylinders are honed(the first pic of the block is acually on the honing machine), I will try to upload some pics of the block being honed. The "B20" thing stamped on the block was just me being retarted.

Damn near all of the labor was done by me, except for Micropolishing / tear drop crank and balancing bottom end. The block is sleeved(Golden Eagle) and all parts coat around $2500.

Re: Some LS/VTEC Build Up Pics (DeL B18C SoL)

looks hella clean. thats what im fixin to do, but not sure if i wanna bore out to 2.0L, or just leave it at the 1.8L...? how much potential will be gained by boring out to 2.0L? especially in the scenario of a vtec head on the LS block, followed by probably a supercharger or turbo. i still havent decided on which one i want to go with after the build up.

$2500 for the whole short block with sleeves??? what a massive rip....and you're not even using honda OEM bearings...good luck with that. JE pistons with JE rings? looks like a 11.x:1 compression setup and nice sleeves. post dyno pics when setup is broken in...should be interesting to see how much whp you make with that setup. i'm sorry for flaming you with the bearings...i was just upset to see people put together LS/VTECs without using honda bearings...availability problems??? hope your setup turns out fine...

I know a lot of people rip on them, but there working in my B18C build up with no problems. I thought around $2500 for everything was a cool price:

1.) 95' B18B LongBlock: $500
2.) GE Sleeves: $700
3.) JE Pistons: $500
4.) ESP Rods: $325
5.) Balance BE/Tear Drop Crank: $250
6.) OEM GSR Oil/Water Pump & Tensioner: $210
7.) ACL Bearings: $110
