Link to the GM sleeves?

[techieboy]

Can also be done in the car...

But what's the point. You need to press in the new sleeve and then machine them which you can't ezactly do in the car.

Nop, the GM sleeves come pre-honed to factory spec bore and only require a top trimming to a little above the deck. (there's a small cutter in the toolkit for that purpose)

Search for GM part 88984129.

(Wanna borrow our GM toolkit?  )

Don't think engine capacity is really limiting factor with these engines, you'll get a faster revving engine as a 2.0 and higher rev limit. If you look at the GM build book they take is from 2.2 to 2.0 for that very reason.

[oakmere]

I would stick with 2.0l personally rather than messing with a new engine and all the extra cost involved. Just fit cams the 4-1 manifold and you should be good for 300bhp and 7200 rpm according to what others have said.

It's going to be a 2.2 Changing crank, new forged pistons and rods Balancer delete And a few more modifications

Is there any negative to keeping it 2.0L? Like less torque or summut?
