I have a 95 LS with a GSR swap. I've had the swap for over 2 years with absolutely no internal work ever done. Recently I did a timing belt, water pump, and cam gear install and ever since my car loses power up top. Could be a coincidence. I took my car to a shop here (Inline) and they have tried to diagnose the entire day what is going on. They came to the conclusion that the bearings are bad. They said this is rare on a fairly new (2000) Honda motor but that seems to be the case. My car is only making 100 hp to the wheels. I have the option of building up the bottom end to 2.0 L, or just removing parts and putting new parts back in, or putting a new motor. All of these options won't be less than $2500. I'm a little shocked right now...

Any advice on what to do would help...

 

If you dont have the money go with the cheaper route. It does suck, But have you told any other shops about it to see if your not getting scammed.

 

I went to Inline Pro. They are a pretty reputable shop. I haven't gone to any other shops.

 

Come to our shop. We'll hook you up. Were located in Glen Burnie, MD. Probably about 30 minutes from NoVa. Inline pro is good but we get a lot of their f-ups. (not sayign Inline is a bad shop itself, just saying they need to hire better employees)

 

Personally, I'd just get a whole new motor. It is expensive but then you'll have the second motor that you can use for spare parts or sell them and make some money back.
