no, it wasn't just for the headstuds, it was for the headstuds and ls/vtec kit. and the kits cost about 250. so 360 is fine.

Yup, theres a plus mark between them but I guess it's hard to see so it was the headstuds golden eagle ls/vtec kit and 2nd day air shipping

what head gasket did you get from that GE lsv kit? From bambam's thread, he says to use a LS headgasket so it won't leak any oil. I didn't read his thread and already bought my kit. Haven't tried it out yet though.

Here's a link... https://honda-tech.com/zero...ge=18

crxowner

Hmm, I've never heard of that happening. Golden Eagle uses an oem p30(b16) head gasket with two holes resized to fit the dowel pins.

methos713

yeah, but bambam and some other guys on that link/thread are saying the head gasket needs to match the block...not the vtec head. When I read that part...I read all pages and IM him just to make sure. One guy stated that the holes the dowels went thru on the ls hg had to be enlarged.

crxowner

Well I'll try the GE headgasket and see if that works and if not I'll let you guys know and replace it with an LS headgasket.

I too recived the same headgasket from GE. Plz let me know if it works before i assemble my motor.

Why would they send a b16 HG, when they know were doing LS (1.8)- vtec

killerpenguin21

ge has always matched the head. some people say it leaks some say its fine.

im running it, but my motor wont be in for another month....stupid backorders.

crxowner

I was planning on dropping in the motor on sunday but I one of the upper main bearings didn't come in so I might have to wait until tuesday for it to come

crxowner

Well... It's a longblock now, I'd have to admit I didn't think I'd see this day couple times, neither did alot of people. Anyway it's not done till it's in the car and driving. It could blow up when I go to turn it on.:lol:

Alot of OEM hottness

This is how the beast sleeps tonight







I would I have finished pulling the motor tonight but the mosquitoes were ******* crazy. Everything is disconnected and the motor is hanging by the hoist just the mounts got caught in the engine bay, I got another 15-20 minutes and that motor should be out.

crxowner

Got some more work done today











This little bastard was the only problem of the day, apparently you can't use a rear tranny bracket from an EK with b-series swap. So hopefully someone will have an integra one in stock tomorrow

killerpenguin21

is that a rear tranny or the rear t bracket?

you need the rear t bracket from an si, the integra one wont work either

crxowner

It's the rear T bracket. I'm pretty sure an integra one will fit, I belive this was from an SI but I'm not 100% sure.

killerpenguin21

im 99% positive that the integra mount doesnt work either it will be just as short, and you need the si bracket.

Very nice motor.
