	There's a darton sleeved block for my civic I'm looking at on another forum as it's going stupidly cheap - reason being 2 of the bores are scored due to piston rings being fitted incorrectly. the bores are currently 75.5mm and would need to go to 77mm to get rid of the scoring, meaning i'd need custom pistons... anyway, is it ok to rebore a sleeved block? how much does it cost/ does anyone know where i can get it done? the block, including eagle rods is £250 and both have done only 1200 miles so i think it's worth it? the rods alone cost that new.. I'm viewing it on weds night - is there anything i should look for that would make it unuseable? sorry for the n00b questions but i have only ever bought complete running engines before...

	Why not consider having the two scored bores resleeved thus avoiding the need for custom pistons ? I reckon that would work out a lot cheaper option. Paul h

	Gotta agree with Paul there...
	More than it should be, but not as much as it could be

	sleeveing a block isnt cheap either, might be cheaper then the pistons, but i'd rather have an unsleeved block if your thinking of going faster

	well actually the pistons arent that bad - about an extra £20 per piston vs off the shelf, which I think is a darn sight cheaper than re-sleeving 2 of the bores...

Have you actually priced up the cost of resleeving ? If so how much have you been quoted ? Paul H

	are they sleeved into a block that is not normally? i.e a dry liner block re-lined?
