Well if you plan on doing a B20/VTEC setup, and using JE pistons, I hear they only make 84 and 85mm pistons. So will it be safe boring and honing a B20 block(I know they have weak sleeves) to 85mm?

Thanks.

 

i have 84.5 arias pistons, prolly about the same price as je's unless your set on je's

 

I dont want to use Arias, rather JE with Crower rods.

 

i run custom arias..but u can do 85 if u want...

 

Just about all of my friends' CRVTEC motors are running 84.50mm JE 12.0:1-12.5:1 slugs... A couple on stock rods, one on Eagle... Crower rods are awesome, I assume you're just looking at the Econo Billets since there's really no point for a stronger rod with a stock sleeved bottom end... Peace

Well I want to do a crazy all motor setup, Skunk2 stage 3 cams, so I hope my sleeves will hold out just fine.

 

I mean, I always hear people saying that stock sleeves crack with high compression but all of my friends' motors are still running just fine... They've all been going for over a year with no problems... I dunno... Guess we'll just see... Peace

 

I just picked up a set of Importbuilder spec wiseco's in 84.5 and their eagle rod combo that corrects the porr rod ratio. The **** is DOPE and worth every penny!

 

Do you know how much the wristpin is moved up on those pistons?? Just wanted to know what R/S is gonna be with your 89mm crank... Peace

 

IMO if you are planning to build a "crazy motor" why not save yourself drama in the longrun and bulletproof your block now. By bulletproofing I mean sleeved.
BTW, Whats wrong with Arias? Is it a preference that you prefer JE? Or is there something with Arias I don't know about.

 

the wrist pin in the IB spec stuff is moved up 0.137" as well the rod is longer by 0.137" The psitons are friggin light too 282 grams each!

I just hear bad stories about the customer service. I dont know too much about them, but all I hear is good things about JE.
