    **** yeah it is. I took this ***** ass D-16 to a cribbage meet one Tuesday evening and that mother****er sputtered and choked the whole mother****ing time we were there. So we left and I took it to see Lost in Translation. I've never seen an engine so ****ing bored in all my ****ing life. Later, QD.

    you repace the factory sleeves with stronger ones. if you are staying n/a i would not really worry so much about it. it expensive anyways

    sleeving is always good, especially if your going to bore it out more than factory specs . . .

    sleeving is when they remove your oem sleeves and install new ones.
    instead of seeing the gap between the sleeve and the block, they actually install a sleeve that allows you to go much higher
    in a b18c1 its a 81mm. i think you can go as far 87mm when sleeved to the max size.
    you'll have to buy a whole new bottom end and send your block off to a machine shop to re-sleeve it.

    i am going through this myself with my GS-R/CTR motor!!! not sure if its worth it on a D but go for it.
