Re: b18a machining questions
um your machinist should tell you what to get. or what your options are.
think about it. if you go in and say..... I want 84mm pistons and a sleeve when you can just hone it out or possibly get oversized parts the machine shop is probablly gonna rip you off. or take advantage of the fact that you dont know what you want. and prolly wont know what you are given.
you prolly dont need sleeves.
go in and say..... i wanna rebuild my b18. whats it gonna cost me. then see what the deal is with parts and what you want. when you find out. possibly price match but thats kinda a grimey thing to do to a person thats spent time on helping you.
when i price shop i usually stick with the original person but do ask for something to make the deal better for me if there is a significant difference.
