So! I finally got my motor back today. Unfortunately I don't have any time to install it this weekend. Plus he forgot to resurface my flywheel so that'll be ready Monday. Next Saturday my GSR is in a car show. I kinda want to skip it to install my motor but it's okay lol. The next available weekend I have is the last weekend of the month.

A lot of my buddies were saying not to paint it but they bead blasted (I think) my cylinder head so it doesn't match anything. They did the same with my GSR head and I've ALWAYS regretted not painting the motor. I appreciate your guys feedback. I always go with my gut feeling though.

So we decided to paint this motor. I like it, I know it might peel, whatever... Just like it'll get filthy not painted!

Looking good Mikey! I know how it is to have everything you need right in front of you, but no time to put it together. Continue being patient and eveything will turn out for the best! I especially love seeing all of that OEM Honda packaging. Good for you! It can be so tempting to cut corners when you start to see those dollar signs adding up. Looking forward to seeing you wrap it up. Good job bro!

Noneed2hate

you are doing the right thing Mikey keep it up man! Can't until you destroy us all again on ROTM at CI with the car once it's done

Bitanga

Thanks!

Thanks man! Yeah I'm sure you know. I'm super happy of what you're doing to your R. You are a true enthusiast. Yeah I get so happy seeing Honda boxes when I get home LOL. I hope everything turns out the best for your build as well. I'll keep checking your thread for updates!

Thanks bro! Lol I can barely win on there. You are going the right way with your build man. Keep it up.

Bitanga

Did some work today.

I figured... Since I'm painting the head, block & tranny that I might as well paint everything else LOL.

I'm HOPING after BLOX next weekend we can start installing the motor and get it running on Sunday.

Be careful and make sure you didn't paint over all your grounds. Especially the alternator.
