why do you want to do this? I thought you were doing a dodgy bros rebuild

[SECURITY]

does anyone know someone in sydney?

[Duncan]

Yep Dominator engines did mine, it wasn't too expensive and a great job. But you have pm as well

[SECURITY]

thanks Duncan

Why bother when RB25 blocks used are fairly cheap as is?

Whats a re-sleeve worth thesedays

[SECURITY]

yeah i think i might just go with a new block.

i googled resleave and i found someone saying it costs $800. and apparently not many people in aus have the tools/resources to be able to do a 100% job.

Considering you arent chasing massive power, I think a re-sleeve is a complete waste of your time.

Locate another block and have it crack tested & machined - easy

[SECURITY]

yep.

i decided going that route this morning, my brother in law is on his way to see wether we'll use my block or buy a new one.

i was just chasing options.

[Abo Bob]

That's why I asked why.

well we've just had a look at it, seems the damage is high enough and isnt deep so a light hone will be fine.

the bottom ring will never come in contact with the scratch, and after the hone it wont be there, it isnt as bad as i thought.

if the guys with my parts stop screwing me around then ill have it up and running in a week.

Actually a sleeve is pretty cheap and stronger than the original wall when done properly. Mine was under $100 from dominator.

but even better is just bore th whole block out .5mm and get some extra cubes

[Abo Bob]

Is that $100 for one sleeve?

[Blitz]

What Adam said ^^

[SECURITY]

$100 for 1 sleave is still pretty good.

is it possible to resleave just 1 bore or do you have to get all of them done?

[Duncan]

yeah it was for 1 sleeve and yes you can do them 1 by 1, I only had 1 done. But I am not 100% sure of the price I just remember it was a hell of a lot cheaper than a block
