    you dont have to resleeve if you dont use forged pistons....you can use stocks, mahle's, or prelude type s.


    Actually Bee, from what I read-up on HT.... the H23 doesn't have the FRM sleeves that the H22 does... either does the F22 and F23... only the H22 and S2k have the "exotic" sleeves as far as I know.


    I just did an F22 build on stock sleeves and custom-sized Wiesco pistons from Race Engineering. We didn't sleeve the block on it. For a minute I was talking to Mahle about pistons, but then realized I did not need the "special ones".


    Most of your H23 internals will be custom dimension that no place has on-the-shelf... like Bee said.


    Hope that helps.

    Mike...the H23 does have the FRM sleeves. Only F-series do not not have them. Sk2 and i beleive NSX both have the FRM sleeves also.

    H22 and H23 are the exact same casting...only difference isthe code on the block.

    you thought wrong, lol. i really doubt that Honda would use different sleeves in the H22 and H23 since its the exact block.

    what might race engineering include in that build for $970?
