im getting a 2.3l stroker kit where did you guys go to get you engine re-bored?

 

more ppl will do a .5mm over bore (85.5mm) so they know the cilinders will be perfectly round and not over shaped

 

where did you get yours done?

 

You're getting just the rotating assembly and not a shortblock? If so, I'm sure there's a local machine shop in your area that could do the boring after you give them your block. Let your fingers do the walking.

 

what whould the advantages of getting a shortblock be than just getting it re-bored

 

well i'm on the stock motor on my evo
but there are a lot of machine shiops in so cal
for my honda i go to rs machines, golden eagle or bensons

 

what would the advantages of getting a shortblock be than just getting it re-bored

 

The main advantage of getting a shortblock is that you have the entire bottom end properly built by a shop that knows 4g63s, do rebuilds on them regularly, and has the equipment to do it right (at least if you're dealing with most of the well known shops). The block is bored with a deck plate, etc. etc.

If you have a very good shop locally, you can save some shipping costs for the block and the core and have it done where you can see it progress. However, most local shops will not have a deck plate for a 4g63, or other similar tools that make the job come out better.

 

+1

It's always better to get a stroker or any built motor for that matter as a complete short block. If it's done by a good shop, it should be balanced and the tolerances should be within spec.

Get the short block if possible. Or do a lot of research on the shop you choose to have assemble it.

Good luck with the build
