Yes, stick with OEM, or get an actual quality aftermarket part. Stop wasting your time or money on this cheap Chinese crap.

Do not attempt to port out a throttle body. Only bad things will come of it.

If you want to bore out the factory throttle body send it to these guys: http://www.maxbore.com/ I don't think the performance advantage will be worth it but it's your money.

That looks like corrosive damage on the bearings. It also looks like you aren't even trying to keep them clean. Bearings are seriously the absolute most important thing to take care of before and during assembly - leave them in their plastic wrap until you're ready to drop the crank on them and torque them down.

i just got new acl ones that why teacher said i should just replace them which i did gonna put the bottom end back together today

Magicmo413

went to put the crank in notice i only had 2 thrust washers so couldnt do that so we started my tuck took the fenders off bumpers and lights anyone know how to do the left side do i leave the rest of the connectors in the engine bay

Magicmo413

Snapped a rod bolt torquein it to 50,yes i looked up the torque spec and it said 50 lb,just gonna take the bolts out of a ls piston at home and put it in and torque it to 24 like the rest of them,kinda bummed friend says better it happened now than in the streets guess hes kinda right though

You don't torque rod bolts, you stretch gauge them. You also never reuse rod bolts. Also, the B18 motor is only supposed to have two thrust bearings.

Wait, time out, this just hit me. You're rebuilding a motor, you have a teacher helping you, and neither of you know how many trust bearings your motor is supposed to have?

What in the actual ****?

I think this is also 3rd engine block

Magicmo413

ok whats any of yall point yall act like im payin someone else to do this when i want to do it i want to learn it for my own personal nohow so if any of yall cant say nothin nice or give advice keep your two cents to yourselfs then...not tryin to be a sshole or start **** but its frustrating like i said i dont have alll the knowledge or honda friends like that who will come help me wrench so im doen it at school cause its easier my teacher worked at ford for 23 years so how would he know anything bout honda..least he tryin to help me

Magicmo413

yes it is my 3rd block 1st one water pump bolts snapped in it tried to drill out extractor broke off in the 1st one tried drillen second one drill bit broke off in the bolt so i got a new block didnt have it honed before i put it together cause i believed the kid that said it was honed before i bought it see how far that got me.got a new b18b1 block for free from my friend that had pistons still in it took it apart then took it to machine shop honed and cleaned and got a completely different mint ls head and had all my **** switched to a head that didnt have the inside machined down like my old one did

if you look at the one on the left at the top you can clearly see how its grinded down and my teacher didnt like that and niether did i so that why i got the new head and switched it all

jdmjunkieXL

Wut school are u attending? When i went to school i went there to learn...there would be NO way the school would have let me done what u are doing. Unless it was after class and the shop was open with no class in it.

Buy, borrow, or download a factory service manual. You've been told this numerous times. Since you obviously have no idea what you're doing, and even more disappointingly your teacher has no clue what he's doing, you need that book. What you're doing right now is tantamount to trying to learn anatomy without a textbook - you might know the difference between a kidney and a stomach, but you have no idea what goes where.

Get the book. What the hell kind of Mickey Mouse operation of a school are you going to? I hope you don't plan on putting them on a job application, because you aren't learning a damn thing from them.

Seriously, at 3 different points in the last 2 pages I've said outloud "what about the manual?"
