i just got this block and just to get some more help are the cylinder's bad, what can i do to it now???

if you can see closely there's a line in the middle of each cylinder like its cracked or something what can i do to this to fix it???



I think you could really see on this one

 

the sleeves are two pieces.

the inside is iron i think the outer is aluminium.

it looks fine to me but The first pic is blurry and that seems to have the best light unfortunately.

 

WTF? Are you referring to the sleeves?

 

But is it suppose to show the lines/crack in between them??? or is it original????

 

it is the two pieces of the sleeve and liner. its fine. I would however get the block decked before putting a head on it. It maybe is warped.

how much would this be??? i have all this pistons and new bearings prepared for my 2nd LS/V project but im just trying to get some inputs from h-t before i do slap anything on

 

the line your refering to, is it vertical, like up and down inside the sleeves?
Or are you refering to the tops of each cylinder where the gasket sits?
(perfectly round on all 4 cylinders?)
Not sure what your trying to show us in the pictures.

 

I'm soooo lost on what you're after here. There are water jackets and there are sleeves. Are you refering to that? Is there an actual vertical crack that runs the length of the sleeve? I think most of us are really lost on this one.

 

The lines on TOP of the sleeves those circles on top of the sleeves

 

Just like most everyone said...its where the iron and the aluminum come together in the sleeve. Every honda engine is like that..dont worry about it.
And those pistons are burnt as **** lol

 

If there is separation between the cylinder lining and the actuall aluminium of the block I think that is something to worry about. Has this motor ever overheated?

lol n/m those pistons some ctr .25 oversize are going in lol

yeah imma take everybody elses word about it them i'll just go take this block to go get it decked then

 

Have you tried to clean the block? It looks to me like the markoff from the sealing rings around the cylinders on the head gasket. The part of the gasket with the metal fire ring.

 

If you are that worried about it I would send the block to aebs and have them resleeve and deck the block and build the motor from there because after they are done with it, it is practically indistructable and good insurance anyways. It will cost a little bit of money but well worth it espically if you plan on running any force induction.

 

okay thanks everybody for the help and replies i really appreciate it im just going to have the block decked before building it
