motor question
I want to build an Ls/vtec motor in the future for my EK, and someone on craigslist is selling a used B18b1 longblock, what are the main things to check for when buying a used longblock,btw the seller said the engine needs new rings and no rod knock.

Re: motor question
If you're going to spend the money on building an LS/Vtec, I would replace all the bearings, rings and gaskets regardless. So when it's torn down, you can take the block and crank to a machine shop to have everything checked. Just good practice when building an engine.
I've got a 99 B18B1 with clean Vin, pm me for details.
