ok, this is my friends b20 block pics.. part of the cyl3 sleeve broke off onto the piston, wrecked the piston and head.. cracked all the way through to cyl 4.. so it was running on 2 cylinders..

anyways t'was a b20 block, port and polished b16 head with titanium retainers and valve springs.. pics of the head didnt turn out, or closeups of the piston.. we were workin on this for a few weeks.. just got it wired up and all that.. tried to start it and right away ran on 2 cylinders.. my friend said he thinks the block was fine when he put it in but he was a rookie at the time..

i've heard of b20 sleeves being weak, but seriously.. on the first start? what could possibly cause this.. any input is appreciated.. got the b20 from hmotorsonline down in socal.. and they said they'd replace it for us, just tryin to make sure something like this isn't that common.. i mean really.. at least start for me =P

You gotta host the picture on a website buddy, go sign up at imagestation.com and host it there then post it up.

 

oh, another question.. i know its not the best pic, but can this block be salvaged? how much on average does it cost to be resleeved.. i understand i'd haveta replace a few things because the piston's f**ked, but ? average resleeve cost = ?

 

we do sleeving for $880 and that includes the Bore, hone, hot tank, and decked. THats ready to go to assemble. Others advertise, just the Sleeving only and you still have to Bore and hone which adds another $100 or so. this is ready to go and can be bored to 84mm, 84.5, 85mm, or whatever you specify. the block maybe salvageable.. its hard to tell from the pics.. we would have to open up the block and check out the rest of the damage to the block.

Ya its not pocket change.. but keep in mind the sleeving process is the same process these fully built Race cars boosting 30lbs are using. These are the same sleeves that low 10 sec all motor hondas are using. so your getting the best of the best.

 

what kinda sleeve do you guys use?

 

Your block is still sleevable!!!

To get your B20 block sleeved up to 87 mm will run you $790.
This includes putting our "Goldzilla" sleeves into your block, cleaning and
decking - Two Options: ( Both included in the price. If nothing is specified
about the deck when we receive the block, it will be decked to our
standards with no o-ring. )
1. step deck which is usually for block that do not have enough room for
an o-ring due to large bores. It is our "STANDARD"
2. O-ring - which we like to put on all motors if possible. Works great
on turbo or NOS cars.

Remember, we use all CNC equipment to do the sleeving portion
of the operation so no one can touch us when it comes to quality,
craftsmanship, tolerances and turn-around. NO ONE!! Plus, our blocks
get pressure tested before they leave to ensure a perfect block every time!
Quality and reliability are always our top concerns. Turn around time is
approx. 10 - 15 working days.

We can bore and hone your block but this process is an additional
$125.00, adds 3 - 5 days to the turn around time and we need the pistons
in order to get the process done. We can get you ARIAS pistons for $515.00 .
Just tell us what your compression preferences are? If you buy the combo
block sleeve, pistons and bore & hone then we can knock your total for the
job to $1356.00.( a savings of $109 ) Then all you need is someone to
assemble your motor and your off with a lot more reliable power than you
had!!! ( price based on shelf stock pistons. Custom pistons slightly higher! )

Just to let you know, if you decide to ship your block to us without
contacting us first, please follow the next steps to ensure the job gets
done fast and correct.
1. Strip the block of everything, even the mains and oil squirters!
This will help you save on shipping!
2. Include a note with your block that has your full name, address,
contact number and instructions on what your will be using the block
for and any preferences you may have like o-ring or bore & hone, etc.
3. Unless you have spoken with Golden Eagle rep., all payment is up front.
We will not start work on a block until the money has cleared our bank. We
will contact you upon completion of your block and let you know what the
return shipping costs will be. Return will be freight collect so you must have
a check ready for the amount we inform you about.

If you are local, please stop by our place. We would love to give you
a look around the place and show you some of what we do here at
Golden Eagle Mfg.

We can also build the motor at our state of the art facility. If
this sounds like something you would like to do, please e-mail me so I can
get into detail about it with you. Check out our write up on Overboost at http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=1034

We also have a full line of performance bolt on's that include cam gears,
fuel rails, intake manifolds, cam seals, vacuum manifolds, VTEC Conversion
and Turbo Oil Supply Kits and many new and exciting products. Call us today
for details and pricing.

I hope this has answered some of the questions you may have had and
I look forward to doing business with you soon.
