that`s a bad *** block. Just price the components and labor and you`ll findout it`s pretty fair. Also. consider sleeving to too.

No, but I don`t think your stock sleeves will like it too long. Sleeving and going 1.8 is the biggest bang for the buck you`ll get.

you're building a motor , for a minor difference in price you can have a 1.8 , why you would even consider not sleeving is beyond me.

do what you want......

so its worth the extra $725 to sleeve it?

i dont plan on keeping this car any longer than 2 years
so i thought sleeving it would just be overkill
however i will do a search and look into sleeving her

its a street car right now (i will definatly race her a bit when my tubo is all ready)
im not concerned about having the fastest civic
i want it to be fun and reliable

Im a little scared boosting on my stock internals
so to be safe i was gonna do some pistions and rods
then i saw this block with all these goodies for 2100
it caught my eye i just wanted some opinions
