i wouldnt bother if your going to be making under 400whp. if your making more then that, sleeving is the way to go.

Block guards are notorious for warping cylinder walls. Stay away.

thanks for the feedback guys...
which are best? lets say for 500whp .... Darton, Golden Eagle etc. i know there are some other brands but cant remember their name.

[deevergote]

Those two brands are the most common, and I've heard nothing but good things about both. Eitehr one should hold up just fine as long as everything is installed and tuned properly (the strongest of sleeves will crack with crazy amounts of detonation, or a poorly fitting or improperly installed piston)

thank you....

i buy and a good friend/professional will install... do it right with quality parts.

later!

[deevergote]

That's the only way to do it, my friend!
Too many people these days want the cheapest parts possible, then complain when their engines blow up. Do it right, do it once, enjoy it for a long time!

Does anyone here has any reviews or input on race engineering.com ? im trying to get some sleeves,pistons and rods. any recommendations are welcome.

thank you!

A blockgaurd is absolutely worthless. As far as sleeving goes GE all day. LOVE mine and theyve been beaten to sheet.

well hey! i got one installed on my block bue i wont be makin 400ish whp till nxt spring so ill let ya kno whe nthat happens! lolol! im kinda HOPIN you guys are wrong (no offense) hahaha! i mean reeal talk, i got all the work done 2 the block 5 years ago whn i was FIRST plannig and gettin it together, but if i knew then what i know now, i would DEFFINITELY have resleeved if that helps your decision any more....

[deevergote]

We're not wrong. I hope you're lucky.

As for Race Engineering, they've been around for quite some time, and I've never heard complaints. Their prices and selection are both quite good. Bisimoto would be my first choice when buying internals, simply because Bisi caters to this community... but raceeng would be my second choice for parts.

[dj_eclipse_303]

should the head be build and what is recommended? for example porting valve job etc.. or leave it stock with bisi internals?

*im thinking building it but would like some ideas i could use for reference.

[JaberCB7]

Let me know who puts your motor together, im still thinking of boosting and you forgot the head studs (im sure you wont need them since you building it) still have em if you ever want em

[dj_eclipse_303]

acho mano quien te brego el motor antes? la chola tiene tornillos pelao y una valvula partia alomejor por eso brinco tiempo los tornillos de los rocker arm where loose too!

[dj_eclipse_303]

im listening to some hector lavoe salsa and taking apart the head lol
