Thanks for the words homie


Sorry for the lack of update guys. Been busy workin this last week. But finally got some stuff done.

Got the short block all assembled yesterday. FINALLY..

Took lots of pics of the process. Everything went together nice and smooth this time around

The dude that did all my machine work was super cool and let me come in on a day the shop was closed and did a run through on the bottom end assembly.

Started with all the needed tools



The heart



Main bearings installed



Crank in



Mains and girdle on



Pistons 1 and 4 in



Pistons 2 and 3 in



ARP head studs in



Bagged and done!




Had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Whole process took about 2 and a half hours. Should have this thing in the car next week so stay posted!

Got a couple more parts on the way to soo lots of updates to come!

That must feel like a giant leap toward getting the motor wrapped up. Everything looks amazing.

Picked up a cool little piece from MTNY on here

LHT Integra master cylinder brace. Gonna do a little modification to it then have it powdercoated fresh black.



Also got my rotors back from resurfacing. Came out real nice. Just need to wire wheel the faces and lips and repaint them with a high temp enamel to give em that "new" look




Off work the next 2 days so hopefully get some work done and have some updates for you guys

Lol I'm too broke. My heads rebuilt with fresh grind and dual springs so hopefully that will be good enough. Wish I had money for ctr cams though

Jumped into this build thread kind of late, but I loved reading the last 39 pages...great project, effort, and documentation.

Definitely gotta get a stealth alarm with a few kill switches and a quick release in that car

I really admire all of you guys who put this much into your cars. My Prelude is due for this kind of treatment in a few years, money permitting.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing it finished!

No worries at all man. Used a combination of things, brute engine cleaner, steel wool, wire brushes, wire wheels, gray 3m scuff pad and lots of elbow grease lol

Well it definitely shows. It looks as if it just rolled of the assembly line.
