Finally almost coming toward putting everything together just awaiting on some Parts from Honda. Due to the holidays and all shipping has been a little slow. Should have the build done by this month hopefully. Hoping i would have it running and broken in and tune the shit out of it. Well here is what i have purchased. Almost LNIB ITR Valve Cover with C/F spark plug cover and oil cap. Also got dirt cheap starter for the build and Alternator (which is not pictured)... The story about the two Dizzy. A friend bought one for his car and he decided to get rid of it so he gave it to me brand new. When i was doing my wire tuck the distributor kept hitting the solenoid so i went inside did some research and it was for a non-vtec dizzy. Same night ordered one from eaby brand new for 120.00 Shipped it out. I guess during the shipping those bastards probably tossed the box and broke the cap, so i just swapper the non v one with the vtec one and BAMMMMM problem solved. I was going to use my ls oil pan from the other motor but ************ it since i have almost everything new let me just get a Brand new oil pan. Did some more researching and found one on ebay for 100.00 W/ the gasket Bannging ass deal. Two days ago dedcided to purchase a full gasket set. This is where I'm at with the build keep you fellas updated...

On the way..

Good looking build so far, I know I'm not the only one that loves seeing a freshly built spotless engine.

Oh yeahhh! it was a hassle trying to get all the gunk and oil out of it and then repainting it. Hopefully the paint will stick on if not i just have to take it out and repaint it again.

Yeah! That's what i was planning on doing a b20 vtec. For some reason i changed my mind and sold the b20 got a gsr block then sold the gsr block bought the ls block complete for 100 bucks. IMO if i had the change i would go back and do a b20vtec, but parts for it are a little bit higher. I'll just do a b20vtec turbo for my next set up. Total cost on everything not going to lie head alone prob worth 1500-2000 maybe more the block was about total 1200 found really good deals on the crank and rods.

i'm diggin' it.

i wonder what power this set-up will make...
I dont know I'm realy hoping breaking in the 215+ mark...I know i wont get what i want due to the displacement but for now this will do. Plus a good tune should hopefully get it up there

Finally got an update
Well I ran into some problems with the motor build. I accidently ordered the wrong standard size bearings so i got Mad and i sent the block out to the machine shop. They gave me a really good price on everything from cleaning, assembling, blue printing the motor for $575. Well here is the status on the motor.. WHole bottom end is fully built now the head is on the block with the arp head studs torqued down to 65ft lbs.. Now i just need couple orings some sensors conversion harness transmission and this motor should be good to gooooooo

Here are some pictures

I Decided to go with a different piston and i went ahead and purchased some Supertech 81MM
