Mine is a sleeved 2.1. I'd never bore the stock sleeves that far

 

I think from the pics and oil consumption its obvious the piston/wall clearances were too loose. IDK what else to say

 

well I dont like to speculate, but could poor bore surface preparation cause all of that?

 

This is why i have had such a hard time with the running lean that erl wants everyone to believe. I see no obvious signs of a extreem lean condition. When I look at the picks in the 1-9 forum of Hollywoods bore it looks to me like there may be the begining of the same signs of wear in his bores but it could just be me trying to see something that is not a issue. I would like to see some opinions from other shops on this.

 

Ryan you need to change some of your information.

Example: Drives Evo X

Ya really dont drive a Evo X you push it around in the shop































Just had to. Ya know I really cant wait to see this thing when you get it done.
