Ok I have been working on this h23 vtec motor for a while and put it all together minus the head.

I am debating on sparying on this motor. Not sure yet. My bottom end is Iron sleeved, crank was balanced, and rods shot peened and cyro frozen. I have J.E. 11:1 pistons and total seal rings. Everything is looking good. Head has skunk2 springs+retainers stock valves and crower stage 2 cams.

My question is should I take it back apart and change the rods. I dont want to but could do it later. I just dont want to be disapointed when I want to spray and am scared to break something.

So what do I do? I am so confused! thanks guys

Is this an H23 with an H22 head? reguardless, how much NOS you planning? i would rec no more than a 75 shot wet kit.

the rods will be fine.but if you plan on turboing
the car THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY GET RODS.
good luck on your 2.3 monster.i built one it was all motor and had alot of fun,then sold the set up to do something else.

yes h23 block h22 head. I am thinking 75 or 100 shot wet direct port.
