ok...i dropped my sleeved block off to a machine shop to get it bored .5mm over (cuz' im switching pistons) here's the problem, they just called me 5 mins ago and told me the block has already been bored out to +5mm AND there's too much space on it than the piston is asking for! what the hell do i do now? The machine shop said either get a new block or bigger sized pistons.

new block = no money!

is there anyone who makes B18C5 +40 over pistons? can't find them.

btw this is a B18C5 block with BENSON sleeves. Will be using CP pistons but worthless now.

 

go to 83mm pistons or 82mm you should be okay if the person that bored the block did it right on the CP should be perfect

 

the machine shop said it fits fine but after they hone it...there will be too much space for it and all i'll have is piston slap.

If you were getting it bored out simply to accomodate new pistons, just have them throw the new pistons in the block without boring it out anymore. You save money, get to use your new pistons and get your **** back sooner. What's the problem?
