I have been grabbing parts left and right trying to get my eg hatch together.

Picked it up for $700 with a gsr head and gsr bottom end.
Came with hasport motor mounts, brand new axles

figured id post a few pics of before and after

I pulled the motor apart and noticed that the bearings were not in the best of conditions. so before I put the motor together I decided to send it off to the machine shop. Got the head done up and resurfaced. Got the crank polished.

Today I was still waiting on the block to come back and still have not received my bearings yet. So I decided to strip down and clean the transmission to match my block

So I got my block and crank back from the machine shop today. Decided I would clean and scrub the block down and give it a good paint job. Started putting things on the motor such as my new water pump. Tensioner. Spring. Any parts I could get back on in the time I had today I did.

The cylinders have been honed, block was resurfaced, crank was polished.

I am still waiting on my damn bearings and rings to come in the mail!!

Tomorrow I am going to put in new front and rear main seals!

Figured Id post some progress

Still creeping along in between work! just picked up a set of rust free eg hatch doors for 25 bucks! a steal! almost have the car ready for paint and have the main bearing clearances all checked and in spec as I figured with the oem replacements. All of my rings are perfect Waiting on Oem rod bearings to put the pistons in and all I am going to need is a head gasket. Hoping to have it fired up by next week!

mean while. I cleaned up my intake today

Hopefully you're replacing the clutch and resurfacing the flywheel while it's apart.

The previous owner put a new clutch and flywheel on it. I looked at it and it is pretty much brand new still. Same with the flywheel.

Def looks like it had about 50 miles put on it

Been a bit since I posted been swamped with lots of work today and prepping for the winter . Spent some time today getting everything back together and torqued to
Spec. Just picked up 2 new snap on torque wrenches and let me tell you I love them!!

But all the talking aside I got the motor ready to put back in.

Any recommendations on building up oil pressure?

Everything went smoothly

Damn... Looking good! I'm restoring my hatch also, have you noticed how hard it is to find new oem parts!?

Your car looks good!

4TheLoveOfBoost

Thanks guys. And yea it's been a pain in the *** to find parts . I had way more luck picking up parts cars on a local Honda page. Worked out cheaper than individually picking up parts. After all I've done I'm still only 2 grand into the car!
