Re: K20A2 EM2 build from Hawai'i - Part II
It's the only motor you can swap in this chassis lol. I seen the specs you posted of your setup in the B20/VTEC thread. How much compression is your setup making?
Thanks! Gonna make another order with you guys (Ryan) soon!

Thanks!
I have the motor out ATM to replace seals/gaskets. I was getting a small oil leak from the oil pressure sender so I decided to freshen everything up. A Clockwise Motion oil pan baffle will be added in along with the revised Hasport ESK3 mounts, ALL IN Fab V/C mounted catch can & Wireworx milspec engine harness. In the engine bay, I will be replacing the mount bowl because my current one is cracked. Once that is finished, the entire bay will be re-sprayed.
Also, since my motor is apart, I snapped a photo of the ITR cams & crank pulley I got back in August.

Forgot to post this update. My mount bowl, engine bracket & various gaskets, seals & hardware came in last week from Ryan @ Autofair Honda.

Update time. My EDM EM2 folding mirrors came in today. This is 1 of 3 known sets in the US. Just need to paint the caps now.

I was out of town earlier this week and haven't had a chance to post this update until now. My RRC intake manifold, timing chain, tensioner & ClockwiseMotion oil pan baffle came in last week from Ryan @ Autofair Honda along with my timing chain cover baffle & IACV rotator from TracTuff.

Another update. After getting back home this week, I got to work removing my old mount bowl which cracked shortly after doing the swap back in '09. I then had the car towed to my fab guy to get the new mount bowl welded in.
Test fitting motor.

Small update. I bought the paint for my engine bay last week after deciding to keep the original color. PPG Deltron DPLF epoxy primer, DBC basecoat & DCU2021 clear.
On an unrelated note, I picked up a '06 Ruckus a few days ago. It will be pretty sick once finished. A build thread on totalruckus.com will be started soon.

I haven't abandoned the build guys! I'm just waiting on Derek @ ALL IN Fab to finish my V/C mounted catch can & custom firewall plate for my WireWorx engine harness. I need to make sure everything fits properly before I spray the bay. Derek said everything should ship out this week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
