Thanks guys

I'm not sure exactly. Its just a bigger circle plug you can find at any junkyard with hondas.

Nice nice. Get the motor back this week so we can reassemble, then the harness work begins!

Thanks a lot guys. Much appreciated

Priorities. Work owns me right now.

Haha thanks man. Do what NOFX said. Subscribe


Got a few more things for the build today thanks to my bro inlaw macknjack

Complete ACL race bearing kit



And ARP head studs with 9mm ARP rod bolts to replace the 8mm ARP's i bought when I planned on goin lsv



Still gotta get a few more ARP bolts for the engine like flywheel, oil pan and intake/exhaust mani nuts

Can't wait to put this motor back together!

Davisaudio20

hey man if you need help putting it together im more than willing to help I've got loads of tools just let me know man i would love to help.

SHG_EasyE

New rear lines look much better... Its like a blossoming flower of Honda love lol!

I didnt know ARP made all those other bolts/nuts. I thought it was just internal stuff. Nice updates

skipunk4

Will do man. I dunno when I'm gonna get around to assembly. Hopefully soon

Thanks man. I like them a lot better too! ARP has TONS of bolt/nut options


So here's the money shot

Picked everything up from machine today. The pics don't do it justice.



What all got done.
- Hot tank
- Block hone
- Head surface
- Valves/valve seats ground
- Crank polish
- PR3 pistons onto gsr rods

Here's a close up of the head



Will get better pics soon. It's all still in the trunk of my car haha.

Also put some work in on my subframe. It was needin a refresh. Not quite done but gettin close

Before:



Disassembled:



Cleaned:



Still need to reassemble, but I want to figure out how to rebuild the rack w/o the looped system first to clean it up a bit.

That's it for now. Should have the stuff for the harness soon and still waitin on a few more things for the motor assembly. Can't wait!

I was hoping you were going to repaint the sub frame until I saw that last picture, that thing looks great for having just cleaned it.

Ej8_KiD

indeed , nice work man

SHG_EasyE

Subframe is looking nice. I cant get over how mint everything was on that car when you got it even before you started tearing it down

racing_reject_001

Maluko

Maluko

racing_reject_001

what did you think of the itr header? i just picked one up and close to install any tips, advice or opinion?

skipunk4

I'm still considering having it powder coated along with a few other pieces. We'll see though

Thanks man!

I was real lucky finding it. It was a single woman owner who had takin really good care of it.

Thanks man. It was absolutely stock when I got it

03 civic sedan (gf's car)

I know seriously

You need a 2.5" donut gasket and collector for sure. I didn't have any of that stuff and no one around me stocked it so I had to special order both pieces. You can get them from honda or blox


Got a couple more things in the mail today thanks to SilverSpoon01

mmm.. Spoon..



- Oil cap
- Rad cap
- 2x black rad stays



Got bored and have been messin with my bro inlaws d50 I might be pickin up from him.

Pics are soo much cleaner

Here's a random one of my polished gsr crank



Going to be working on the engine assembly later this week when I get some free time
