Cylinder sleeves, sleeve, sleeving [Merged 9-7] block bore cylinder

[Turbocharged]

My only question is: Is sleeving a motor like a 4g64 a good idea or a bad idea.

Yes it is a bad idea because it is impossible. Our blocks do not have sleeved cylinders.

We dont have a block that has use for sleeves... Bottom line...
Thats honda/ suburu etc. terminology. Our blocks are ready to go for whatever you can throw at them, just up grade those rods pistons, and head gasket and get you some arp head studs and you have a motor willing to consistently put down 500+ hp to the wheels... And yes this can be done on a stock crank...
And getting .40 over piston means your getting the block bored that much over standerd which is no problem but you dont see a significant increase in displacement to make it a nessecity to do. Besides the thinner your block the less room you have to keep going in an reboreing it and thinner/ possibly weaker ( maybe not negligable) the cylinder walls will be... Just my .2 cents

Back to the question of the thread, no, DSM blocks aren't sleeved. Nor, unless necessary or completely for racing, are they bored .040.
Grab another block and have your machinist bore it to fit the pistons.

x2 It would be completly idiotic to try and sleeve a closed deck block when it's ten times cheaper to just find another 6 bolt block, you can even by a brand new block from the dealer cheaper then a trying to sleeve a 4g63, I never even heard of sleeves made for our engines.

Sleeves for a block 1000$ < 100$ good 6 bolt core block

I know this thread is old but I found it while searching.

Just to also help clear a few things up. For all the people that posted "its a hon-duh" thing and 4g63's dont need it. They have been using sleeves probly since LONG BEFORE aluminium blocks even came around. I know alot of guys with SBC's (327, pre 85' 350), BBC's and SBF's that are driving around right now with sleeves in there cars. Sleeves have two purposes, for repair which is the biggest reason. And two is for excessivly over boring a motor for race use only. The second reason is not benifical on 4g's as this trick falls back on the "no replacment for displacment" gimmic, and we prove that wrong daily.
