Arias pistons
ARP head studs and bolts
Cometic head gasket
Block guard
Skunk 2 valves
JRSC Stage 1 boost upgrade
Full port job on the head
OEM valve seals, guides, bearings
Apexi WS2 exhaust
Painted the block silver (not the bleeder screw)
Heavier OEM torque mount (not sure what it is out of but definitely thicker)

I think that's it.

The machine shop cleaned the engine.

DO NOT ATTEMPT A PORT JOB ON YOUR OWN!

There is a technique to it and you CAN mess it up if you don't know what your doing. Also polishing is not a good idea on a fuel injected car. Leving that rough surface allows the fuel to atomize better.

DISCLAIMER: I did not do this rebuild myself, I paid professionals to do my dirty work for me this time. (This is usually not the case)

It is going into a 95 Integra GSR

The block guard strengthens the upper cylinder walls
