Build Log: 2.0l b16b
I just got my block back and a few misc. parts so now its time to put it all together again. Build list:
HEAD
PR3 casting
JUN III cams
Golden Eagle cam gears
Portflow port and polish
Portflow inners type R outers
Titanium retainers
Bronze valve guides
New rocker arms
JG "sheetmetal" intake w/70mm RPM service throttle body
RC 440 injectors
GE fuel rail
Walbro fuel pump
ARC intake
BLOCK
B16b sleeved to 85mm by Benson's
GSR crank balanced and micropolished by Benson's
Probe I beam rods
CP 8.1cc strutted pistons
Rage 4-2-1 header
ITR trans with 4.78 fd
Last year at 81mm with a crap ebay header and stock manifold I put down 208whp and 140ft/lbs. I'm hoping for 240 and 160 this year, we will see!!! I should have it together within the week, I'll post up more pics as I go along. Here are some to get started.

Re: Build Log: 2.0l b16b (Casey)
yeah the case was dipped in chrome (thanks to addictiveallmotor)
I got a full ctr swap two years ago and ran it stock one year and last year started to tear into it. I started really not knowing anything, but there is so much information on the net I taught mysel how to rebuild a honda motor. Because there really isn't anybody in northern NH that can help me out!

Dave, do you mean the oil passages or smooth out the entire inside of the block? I already went through and cleaned up the oil passages of any casting imperfections. Gotta get Tbone coat the pistons for me also.
No pics of the sleeves yet, you seen one you've seen em all right?

Re: (97CTR)
for making a coupe fast.What was the old setup that made 208whp? Also, any track times?
Good luck with this build.

Re: (D-Rob)
I got my my ARP main studs the other day so I put the crank in and made sure all of my bearing clearances were on.
I first chased all of the mains with the appropriate tap, even though I'm using studs. I think I have managed to tap every bolt hole on the block.
Next I cleaned the journals of the crank with some brake clean. Because as many of you may know, when building an engine you can never have anything too clean.
I put the crank in the the block, lubed up my main studs and torqued down the main caps to check the clearances with plastigauge.
Bearing clearances all came out to .015" right where I wanted them. And yes the engine is in my custom "clean room" aka the kitchen.
Tomorrow I think I will do the rod bearings, size the rings and get the pistons installed. That is if I get the brakes done on my old lady's eclipse (so I can get it sold) and fix the suspension on my beater 96 hatch.

Re: (GUILOTINE)
Got my ceramic coated pistons back this past week (thanks T-bone). So I sized my rings and mounted the pistons on the rods.
Finally got around to putting the rods and pistons in. Its pretty much all gravy from here on out. Hopefully I can have it in and running in two weeks time.
