I would at least bore it, make sure teh shop machines it with a dummy head in place.

If your that worried about it I will give you $100 for it, the advice you are getting on here is not worth shit other than Tinkerbell everyone is just posting SHIT.I sent you a PM and told you who to ring about it.

glad you could help, i knew what i had to say was not much, but it was as much as i knew about the subject (which by the way is not actually called 'posting')

it does not relate to the original question (do you think this is safe?), nor help the original posters concerns... :rolleyes:

Well, to explain myself better, to answer the original question of "do you think this is safe?" - no I don't believe it's an ideal situation to have dis-similar metals in contact with each other (esp with a 0.02 - 0.03mm piston to bore). But, as you mentioned before, it might not be ideal to remove the dowels as it may cause further issues.

Now if this is the same person who was looking to use 84mm pistons in this block I would be sending the whole thing over to Darton to be resleeved with correct sleeves for 84mm piston size. Running 84mm pistons on stock sleeves is a tragedy waiting to happen.

However, if the thread starter isn't prepared to outlay $2000+ for resleeve and shipping to run 84mm pistons; or to look for a new block all together; he's left with the option of using this 'posted' block (with a more conservative piston size). Hence my suggestion of "at least bore it, make sure the shop machines it with a dummy head in place."

Apologies for my original post if it seemed to not relate to the original question (do you think this is safe), nor help the oriinal posters concerns...

Ok the material used for the posts is alloy and it is in alloy it does not touch the sleeve at all.This type of post I have seen used in 9sec WRX engines running 30psi of boost and over 150hp of NOS on top of that.So unless you have experience with this type of process do not reply to this thread as you have no way of knowing if it works or not.Now the thing about 84mm pistons in a none sleeved B16A-B18C type engine yes it will split the sleeves.
