I don't think sleeves are neccesary at 14psi. It would be overkill.

beau, perhaps a little write up on the block filler?

Very true ... stock rod's always go first....still have to see a cilinder break before the rod's or pistons. But if you desides to get aftermarket rods etc...and got no money left that would be the way to go...it's only $36 for the posts and a few buck on somekind of metal epoxy (jb-weld).
About what you said 88b16civic it sounds good in theory, but there are 2 pins at the intake side and 1 at the exhaust side at the strees points and it has been used for years in Nascar even before i was born....so it's proven there. IMO there is no need for any of this if you're not running a lot of boost past 15 if you have build you engine. there is even this Polish guy here running 17 psi..on a small turbo it's still the same pressure but the cilinders are still holding up the only reason the rod's aren't broken yet is because he's only making about 160 hp to the wheel...any D-series can take that.The rod's brake because of the power increase and the cilinders flex because of the pressure. Even BoostedED9 ran high boost on stock cilinders the rod's broke before the cilinder...so Honda has pretty strong cilinders IMO.
