Re-sleeving A Cylinder?

[zorb_rules]

Hey guys.. found out finally I smashed the piston rings and put 3 massive scratches into number 5 cyclinder on my r33..just wondering is it worthwhile getting the thing bored out and re-sleeved or just rebuilding the whole lot.. the other cyclinders look fine...

also if anyone knows of a good place to get the work done (i've pulled the engine a part already) and an approximate price that would be awesome...

[SXR]

GTR? Gts-t?

Full rebuild? Stock rebuild?

How much power etc?

Could be better off paying someone expirienced to do it mate, RB rebuilds are a fine art at times.

gtst...probably go a stock rebuild..things only putting out 190 at the moment and Im only lookin for 220 so the engine should be fine stock..my step bro is a mechanic so we are doing most the work at home..alternatively could I just buy a used bottom end??

[SXR]

your better off building it with forged pistons.....you never know what your buying with 2nd hand bottom end.

f**k lol all this money I cracked the head on my vk the vp has been defected and the skylines has a blown engine..plus i just got back from overseas lol....best I get lookign for pistons then...

Forgies are a waste of money mate in all honesty for 220rwkw.

$1400 for something you'll never use or need.

If your mate is a mechanic and knows what he is doing, grab a 2nd hand bottom end... check it out before you get it (obviously) and you should be right. Just grab some new generic ACL pistons or something cheaper like that, they aren't forged etc, so much cheaper

New bearings, rings, any machining etc.

Should be done with it for around the same cost if not a little bit more than what the forgies would be just on their own (and then you need to get the rest of the crap on top)

sweet thanks for thanks for the help found a whole engine for sale for 2k so lookin at than lol...if not ill be shopping for a bottom end...
