For a reliable 400hp you should sleeve, close deck, and (plate hone*) your block. MMS should know that.

* could be called something else?

Torque plate hone, thats the one

Anyone know a rough cost to do the torque plate hone

What about the Liberty 2.5 GT Spec B - is it dual AVCS?

If MMS is building your engine, I'd be asking them.

It's not like you'll drive the engine around getting a workshop to do each part.

I shall check and let you know
Edit: yes, new Lib GT is also DAVCS, as is the 3.6L

As is the EJ255 short block.

Block, crank and rods are identical between the two short blocks.

Jeff Sponaugle on NASIOC discovered the only difference between the two short blocks is the factory pistons.. the 257 piston has 22cc dish and the 255 piston has 25.5cc dish.. they differ due to WRX and STi head design being different.

So they both get the STi Nitrated cranks then?
