I totally fucked my block, so I am looking for a new one, I am going back OEM for the simple fact that I cant afford the parts to build it. So you guys can stop msging me

If thsi happens to anyone else, our cylanders are sleeved but they dont come out the sleeves are built inot the block, short and simple you cant buy a new sleeve I have talked to everyone I know about it. I am buying a new block and going back completely OEM

Its not worth the hastle to me to have a car thats fast and not reliable yes it would be reliable if I had the funds to build it

 

Sorry if this is a dumb question.... but how did you crack the block??

 

how much you want for it... I need a new motor to play with

 

call this number...they claim to have almost every engine ever made 1 866 524 8585

i wonder if it's possable to get a block from a 2.2 or 2.4 and build it like your 2.0? think about it a 2.4 supercharged woohoo

Also found this on Ebay 800 bucks!

if they are sleaved how can they not be replaced? WTF is up with that.

 

The sleaves are made into the block, I didnt crack the block I totaly fucked the sleeve, its to bad to hone out

 

SOOOOOO..... what you want for it....

 

Man that is beat

 

PM WopOnTour, he should be able to give you some info. I doubt it is possible for the cylinder to be sleeved and not be able to remove it, that is the point of sleeving the cylinder. If the sleeves can't be removed, then that block doesn't have sleeves. You know how much more difficult it would be to cast a block without sleeves. I think you need to check your sources....

 

BTW, in the other post that you made, WOP posted up the pics of the tool to remove the sleeve. If you couldn't do it on the LSJ, he would have told you. That guy knows everything there is to know about these engines...

 

yeah dude the sleeves are def removable (I just want your engine) look in the gm buildbook they even remove the aluminum ones for CI for the higher horse power apps...

 

From all the posts that I have been reading about you problems, you just need to take it to some place and have them fix it. Yes, it is going to be very expensive. But you don't have the specialized tools or knowledge to do the work. Re-building an engine is not really a place to be learning new mechanics skils, especially not on a newer engine. If you want to learn some stuff, tear apart an old VW motor. Heck, you might want to look into buy an LSJ crate engine, you might save some money....

 

my post above has a LSJ motor for 800 bucks! everything assempled...just bolt your supercharger and other accessories on it and go...definately much cheaper

 

I like that idea someone posted earlier about putting the supercharger on the 2.4 engine... that would be sweet

 

The differance in displacment comes from stroke. The bores are the same, so swapping blocks would be a step backward as it isn't as strong (different casting process) and has the same bore

 

The sleeves can be removed period. I am having mine removed and replaced with custom ones. It can be done.

 

learn something new every day

 

during the summer i may be picking up a block or to and building an engine after i do that i will be selling my oem engine.

 

UMMMMM HOW EXACTLY DOES THIS HELP HIS SITUATION???

 

I was told by 3 different dealers the only way to get the sleeve was replaced is tog et a new block, and I am doing the work, Im not as much of a newb as I seem I just like second and third opinions

 

When and if I buy a new engine im saving my current one to build over the winter just right now I honestly can barley afford to fix my car lol so its gotta go back stock its the cheapest I belive I can get it fixed for under 1500

 

I am so not buying that. The point of sleeves is so you dont have to replace the block. That sounds like a dealer trying to get more money out of you. Talk to a machine shop in your area and see what they have to say.

 

hell yea what he said ^ your dealer is tryin to **** u good

 

yea they just want your $$$ i think

 

Well. It could be just for the wieght savings but I've never heard of not being able to replace sleeves in any sleeved engine.
