The stockers used in the GM build didn't fail till over 700hp. So I don't think your going to have a problem with them. Now if you want to go with more then .5mm of overbore, I know Darton makes a +1 (87mm) for the 2.2. Should fit fine in an LSJ. Bigger then that and you might need to get custom sleeves made.

I know, I know I tried to tell them but, they want to make sure the casting is the same.

Its the same for the 2.2 and 2.0, different for the 2.4,I know I had mine done on the rebuild

golden eagle does block sleeving on ecotecs. hondas are $850 and i would assume ecotecs arent much more if any seeing as they have the same sleeve style as hondas (open deck)

I wanted a reputable company to do my block. I don't trust many engine builders out here.

thats why i did it myself, take my time and follow directions from the book very very carefully, i even found a couple goofy things that gm does, that well is weird, like who the **** wants to use angle sockets. its easier just to go with torque specs, that way u can re torque the studs half hour later
