Default Whats the proper way of rebuilding an engine?

I would like to know what is the proper way of rebuilding an engine. I would like to rebuild my B18c1 from scratch. Meaning down to the nitty gritty. I pretty much want everything rebuild with new OEM parts minus the sensors because theyre still in good working condition. So what do I need to replaced or resurfaced?

Buy a Helms service manual, not a Haynes or Chilton one. That tell you all the specs you need to check, torque specs, and how things go back together.

I mean why use OEM parts. why not upgrade a few things while you're already in there

and you can download the manual somewhere, just search around google. I know I have a full 96-00 Civic manual on my laptop.
