Is one going on somewhere? Someone wanna start one? If you are interested post.

 

me me me me I want in if someone goes this route....

 

its gonna be hard to collect everyone's block and probably take longer to sleeve the whole group. if it can be done then i would be in.

note to self: apply for another credit card

 

Difficult...YES
DO-ABLE..YES

THe thing is GE has stopped doing GBs unless you have already done a GB through them before. Immortal was going to do another GB but then he went and bought a Supra.

 

what were the prices of the last groupbuy?

 

I think sleeves were going for $535. Do a seach of the archives for the user immortal...it is all in there.

 

they arent doing group buys anymore for new people, so ..

those who have done group buys (like me) already can still get the groupbuy price.

 

those who have interest can e-mail me and if i decide i want to do something like that in the future i can reply back to you down the road...... depends how much interest there is really, theres a lot of work involved (me driving 20+ hours, packing up blocks, dealing with payments, shipping out boxes etc etc.....not to mention i work m-f 7 to 5 and sometimes on saturday).

 

I've done one earlier...if you are around Rochester, NY give me an email

Ben

 

what did your earlier GB entail?

 

I have the GB through Golden Eagle as well. If everyone is serious about this, I will host one, but there are a few rules to follow when doing this.

1. I will be the only contact for questions or concerns on the blocks. (This means if you have changed your mind, or need something explained about the block, you contact me, and I contact GE.)

2. All blocks will be shipped to me, and then I will ship them to GE. Shipping from here (VA) to there (CA) with 6 blocks is about $35 each.

3. All money will be paid up front, and if using Paypal a 3% fee is added (Paypal's thing, not mine.

If everyone agrees that all these rules can be met, I will post prices and get the ball rolling. This GB is only for Honda-Tech Members. I look forward to helping everyone out. Also, if you need cam gears, intake manifolds (Turbo application only, but a N/A one is on the way!), scatter shields, or any product GE sells, I can get good prices on that stuff too.

EDIT: The reason for these rules are the same reasons the groupbuys don't happen anymore. These are the rules that must be followed as per GE.

Im interested! Just be sure to let us all know so that I can start saving my pennies!
Those rules sound very reasonable too!

 

Cool, theres one, now all we need is 5 more!

 

Wow I'm in all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Let me know.

 

removed my motor saturday, ripped it apart yesterday. I'm ready now.

You've got mail Brandon.

 

Ok, I see a big interest in this GB. I will post the prices this afternoon when I get home from work. A couple of other thing to add.

All blocks will be stripped down completely. (oil pan studs where possible)

Boxes that the blocks will be shipped in are 20X20X20 and packing peanuts is the prefered method of packing material.

A letter will be enclosed in the box that states everything you want done to the block, I will email everyone that gets in on this a standard form.

Pretty simple stuff. It looks like we only need a few more to get this going.

 

well, I started the thread...so I'm interested.

 

what is the turn around time?

 

this is awfully tempting

 

I would be in I just need to make sure I can get my block torn down in time to ship it for the GB. As long as I can get that done count me in.

 

Brandon, ..........this is Tommy, let me know if this thing actually goes through, and I'll be in.....i've got my spare block already to go.

 

Ok everyone, here are your official prices:

Resleeve, Jet-wash, Decking, and pressure test up to 65 psi,(If you would like a copper O-Ring, It is free, but you must use a STOCK headgasket!!)

B-series - $585 (+$17.50, it is a set tax fee from Golden Eagle)
H-series - $644 (+$17.50, it is a set tax fee from Golden Eagle)

If you would like your block Bored and Honed, (All 4 pistons must be included, each cylinder is bored and honed to match the piston. All pistons come back numbered for the cylinder. The sleeves are not stock size, you will have to get them bored and honed no matter what.)

Bore and Hone - $125

Intake manifold, (This is a Turbo only application, it costs more than Venom, but out performs by far! This is the former STR manifold, GE developed the manifold, did all the R & D, and sold the rights to sell it, to STR. STR is out of business, so Golden Eagle has started taking in-house orders and it looks awesome!)

Intake Manifold - $700

Arais pistons, (This is a pistons and ring set, any size, any application)

Arais Pistons - $500

Scatter Shield, (Awesome sheild, universal fit, a must if faster than 11.99)

Scatter Sheild - $160

I can also get Cam gears if there is an interest. Alll prices listed are the lowest GE will go. I am not trying to make one dime on this. I am looking to get everyone that wants to be in by next Friday (26 APR 02). If you can't make this date, I will probably host another buy in a couple of months. I have three definites, let me know. Oh, if sleeves are required for an other than Honda application, IM me and I will check on those.

EDIT: Turn around time, It takes a month now to get the sleeves, (Give or take a few weeks) and one week to ship there and one week back. Now a Bore and Hone job adds a week. The reason for the increased turn around time is how busy GE is right now. This is another reason for me being the sole contact to them. The less they have to answer the phone, the more time they have to work.

I might be in depending if the damn dealership can find my oil leak by the time this goes down!

 

I'm in if you can get the 8.8 JE PISTON too!
