After 16 Total hours of goofing around, the car is finally up and running. I decided to just slap on the LS Head for a bit until my B16 VTEC Head comes back from the shop.

It cranked up on the first start and there is NO Smoke coming out from the exhaust whatsoever. Compression is perfect and vacuum is perfect. Here are some pics:

Looks real good man. So it only took 16 hours, not too bad at all. What did you end up doing about honing the cylinders? Im trying to decide if I should do this or have the machine shop do it.
Oh, and what compression pistons did you throw in it??

DR. ON POINT

I used ACL Bearings (Thanks Rocket!). I checked the clearance for each bearing and they are within spec.

And oh yeah, I just used a Dingleberry to hone the cylinders. I bought it for like $25. They are 9.0:1 compression with a B16 VTEC HEAD. On the LS Head, it's lower, I THINK 8.6:1, not 100% positive.

You need a haircut mang!

But motor looks good. Can you get a pic of the manifold from up top? It looks REALLY close to the radiator though. But good work nontheless.

Yeah I will try to get a pic of the manifold from up top. It DOES sit very close to the radiator...but Fluidyne is almost twice as thick as stock.
