hey guys im about to start rebuilding my b18b. just wondering if you guys can put some input on what i missed or what i should do while the engine is out to be rebuilt.
so far what i plan on doing is.....
got the cylinder honed, putting new rings and gasket along with head gasket & seal kit.
also getting arp rod bolt, head stud and acl rod bearing kit. and lastly putting new timing belt with water pump, front and rear main seal and type r oil pump. my car is boosted on greddy 18g kit but will break the car in for 5000 mile stock and will be putting on the turbo kit afterawards. i think its pretty much everything so if you guys have any other suggestion or advice what to do please post it...... (i am on a budget so replacing rods and piston will be tough for me)
also is the gsr and type r oil pump different?

 

also how i do i isntall valve seals? do i need to take the valves out for that? any special tools needed?

 

Polish your crank it's cheap!

Just have the machine shop install your valves if you don't have the tools.

 

so you have to take out the valve to install valve seals rite? thats wat i thought.....
damn im running low on my budget but i guess i might as well as get it done.....
any other recommandations?!?!?!

 

take it to a professional to rebuild it

 

the seals are simple, especially if the head is already off. all you really need is a pair of needle nose pliers to remove them and a deep socket to put them on. i did some awhile back, not an integra, and used a deep magnetic socket and lightly tapped them on. with the heads off, you don't have to worry about the valves dropping.

 

You can also just drop some rope down through the spark plug hole to keep the valve from dropping. I'm sure they make air fittings you can screw into the spark plug hole if you want to use compressed air to keep it up too

 

if youre taking your head to a shop, those guys will usually take care of all the valve **** for you for not that much more, the machining is the bulk of the cost.
