CR/VTec?
hi. i'm new to the forums. i was wondering what you guys think of CRV/Tec. Do you think it would be hard to steer?
I hear there are problems with the b20 blocks going out cuz of the sleeves not being that strong... can the sleeves be replaced with stronger ones and how much would that cost?

if you do plan on redoing the bottom end. might as well just get a B18 block and sleeve it and bore to 84mm, which is pretty much like a B20 in bore but with stronger sleeves.
If you plan on redoing the bottom end anyways, keep this in mind.
*stock B20 block ~ $800
*B18A block $250 + Sleeving w/ machining $880= $1130
For only about $300 more, you get stronger sleeves that the PRO cars and high HP cars use.

hmmm... would that include tapping for oil lines?
B18A is for the older cars right? I need B18B right?
