Will the stock s2000 sleaves be compatible w/ JE forged pistons? I'm asking, because i heard that the walls will score. I heard that in order for s2000 owners to install aftermarket piston, we would need to re-sleeve our block. Is this true?

the conventional wisdom is that you need to resleeve the block. there is a lot of debate about this, and there may be ways to make it work with the stock sleeves, but i surely wouldn't want to be the one to try it.

the f20c has the same sleeves as the H22 (prelude vtec) and there are lots of people who tried to just drop forged pistons in and ended up with no compression. JE says you need to sleeve any FRM block to use their pistons. Golden Eagle will tell you the same thing, as will Endyn, etc etc etc.

of course, the stock pistons on the s2k are forged, but they are also coated.

 

thanks schwett. I woudn't want to try it either....

 

Try to PM Mark DiGrappa (DiGrappa). He has been working with JR for some time in developing certain solutions to certain problems.
