There's a guy selling an h22 sleeved block close to my house for a good price. I was wondering if there's any way to tell if the block has been properly sleeved to an untrained eye? Or would someone who knows how to sleeve a block be able to tell if it has been done properly? He says it needs deck and hone, and the guy who s,leeved has experience, but I just don't want to buy a something that is messed up. Thanks

This shows an in-depth look at FRM sleeves, bout as best as I can do. Awesome read, a must buy for all H series owners. That issue may still be on shelves so look for in case they take it off the site. If you want to see what regular steel sleeves looks like, just google it for any engine and you should be able to see the difference.'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq

Depending on the sleeve type, you'll definitely be able to tell it was sleeved. Some are just plain obvious, but some arent'.
Like that article says, if they're stock sleeve, you won't be able to see a cross hatch. They also have a weird color to them, unlike normal sleeves have the regular metal look to them.
Post pics if you're still unsure.

Check in the crankcase for leaking epoxy. Fill the coolant jacket with windshield washer fluid, check for leaks. Thats about all you can do.
And check for cracks in the block.

Not a bad deal at all, but if the block is fucked then it's not much of a deal
i wouldn't take that chance .
