I hope you're not planning on sleeving it yourself unless you have major experience, not just in engine building, but in sleeving particularly. I wouldn't even trust most engine building/performance shops to sleeve a motor for me. IMO, the sleeve manufacturer should be the one to sleeve a motor. THe most common cause for sleeve failure is improper installation.

Now that thats out of the way... If you're planning on building up anyway, you'll be much happier with the increased displacement of the B18C... Quicker spool, more power, and more torque.
