Boring and stroking....
I've had a few questions about this....stroking is basically making the stroke longer there for increasing liters, am i right? and boring is actually making the cylander wider, am i right?
So when you want to make a car a 2.0 liter for say, better torque...do you use a healthy mix of both stroking and boring, or do ya just bore the hell out of it til its a 2 liter? Thanks for the info guys ![]() |

dont do it...take it to a shop...and im pretty sure a 1.8L cannot be made into a full 2.0l (like i said in the post where you thought of this idea 1.9x is the limit...unless you want paper thin cyls)

I dont think its good to put a stroker on a civic engine. I think its due to the size limitations. Not to mention sleeving the block is like 10x easier and cheaper.

boring alone will get it close enough to a 2 ltr, anyone know how many liters are in a b18c???
1.797 close but not actually 1.8ltrs my d16z6 is really a 1.590 ltr engine. a b16 is really a 1.587 ltr engine. |

no, you can send the to the machine shop to bore first, then to put in sleeves.

I was under the impression that they bored out the cylinder, put in the new sleeves, and rebored the sleeves to size.

regardless of procedure, just send your stripped block to the machine shop, rebore/resleeve.
