Default 20 over?

Has any one ever just bored their factory H23 block before?
JE sent me the wrong size pistons, they sent me 20 over.
Damn Now I dont know what to do.
I would like to do this with out resleeving?
If I CANT what did you guys pay to have the sleeves put in the block.
Is it possible to just bore out the factory block 20 over..
Any help ?
Thank you !

Yes bore it but you cant use stock sleeves with forged pistons.. must be iron sleeves. Last time i checked GE and Darton sleeves cost a little over 1,000. Plus you have to wait about six or seven weeks to get it back. Sorry hope you can still sleep knowing this

yes, you can do it, but they have problems with getting a nice smooth bore due to the FRM material
