i got a quote for $1391 for golden eagle in California to sleeve, bore, hone my H23 to 89mm. they're supplying sleeves (godzilla) and pistons (arias). whata ya think?

 

good deal, GE does excellent work, my block was sleeved by GE, and i have lots of other cool GE stuff on my engine

 

what other cool things come from GE?

 

they make intake manifold, cam gears, fuel rails, oil feed kits for torbo that send filter oil, vacuum manifolds etc

 

any pics of the inatke manifold for out cars? I have yet to see it.

 

Yeah, good price!

I'm still waiting for my H22 to come back from them also. Can't wait to see it when it gets here!

BTW, I would also like to see the IM that they make.

thanks guys, i was wondering, are the arias pistons comparable to the je pistons? i was planning on buying je until GE threw together that package deal.

 

I am getting golden eagle sleeves but having a different motor shop put the rotating assembly back together, they can do it cheaper, get some prices, I will admit that the sleeves alone are a god deal

 

I ahve a question. Do you send in your current block and they do the work on it or do you buy an already built block from them and then ship them your Core block??

 

you ship them your bare block, they sleeve it and ship the same block back, takes a few weeks unless you pay extra to have it back in a week (thats what I am doing). Also, I think they want the crank if you have them put rods in pistons in

 

i had GE do the machine work on the block, and a few other machins shops do ohter things, and i assembled the engine myself

 

Do they have a website?

 

what kind of tools did you need to assemble the block yourself? yes, they have a website http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com/

 

lets see.......
first and foremost, a HELMS MANUAL!!!!! it's the Honda Bible
and basic tools really
1/2" drive torque wrench
a package of pastigage
ring filing tool
piston ring compressor
feeler guages
a rod bolt stretch guage
lots of Hondabond
some Vasalene (sp?) for the O-rings
engine assembly lude
moly grease lubricant
loctite

um, that's pretty much all i can think of, i mean, seriously, and engine is nothing more, than as my automotive teacher says, "nothing but a bunch of nuts and bolts"

 

do i want the helm's shop/service information manual? there's a few different one's, just making sure i'm getting the right one.

 

Helms all the way, I would be seriously lost with out mine at times!
