Ok, everyone's got me completely worried. I find out for sure tomorrow night, and I can't stop thinking about this.

If sleeve #1 did indeed crack, what are my options?
how much to resleeve?
who should I go through to do this?
how much for a used gsr block?
how long is the downtime usually?
what would you guys recommend doing?

i was originaly gonna back out if this happened, but I can't. Too much money, blood & tears went into this thing. If i backed out now, i'd be losing so much money. And most importantly, after 3 months of work, I haven't even driven the ******* thing with boost.


Thanks guys.

find out how far the crack went through. If it is surface cracks then you can bore it over and put larger pistons in. I had surface crack on my block a while back when I was running ls/vtec. I just bored it over and put over sized pistons in.

 

Buy some pistons and send your block and pistons to RS machine, I talked to them last thursday and I think you will be very happy. If you send the pistons with the block it will be ready to build when you get it back.
You might want to get the crank pollished and get everything weight ballanced also.

i was going thru port flows web site and noticed that they are selling ALOT of RS machines parts, you should check it out. Good luck

well if you have any doubts, I'd just resleeve anyway since you seem like you want to boost alot on this block and you want it to be reliable in the future.

i dont know what you have.. full GSR? if you want it done ASAP, consider making it an LS/vtec if you dont have time to pull out your motor ASAP or have that cash to get another GSR block. we have ls blocks all the time and can start on the sleeve ASAP. turn around can be within the week, depending on the backlog.
